Of course, 5 minutes after I sent this, I got the modules to load into 
the initramfs:

[root at localhost tftpboot]# dracut --force -m "network" --add-drivers 
"sunrpc.ko `find 
/usr/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet 
-type f -exec basename {} \;`" drive3testing.img 3.10.0-327.36.3.el7.x86_64
[root at localhost tftpboot]# lsinitrd drive3testing.img | grep ethernet

Still doesn't work - getting this error:

localhost.localdomain dracut-initqueue[240]: RTNETLINK answers: File exists

and only loopback network is up.  3 minutes later, it drops me into the 
dracut emergency shell.

Thoughts?
