/boot/initramfs-4.11.9-300.fc26.x86_64.img was not regenerated after dracut was run. The timestamp remains the same as before running, when I installed the current kernel.

[root@segv-f26ws ~]# ls -lh /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)*

Running dracut -f -v shows the initrd is generated at a completely different location than previous versions of Fedora.

Deleting the folder dc6ce07d63f24b5aaae9c6f20d80fd51 and running dracut again shows it is generated in the expected location.
