Description Jim McElwaine 2013-02-02 10:53:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
kernel 3.6 correctly boot with root from LVM

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

all recent kernels 3.7.x fail to boot and drop into dracut with a message that the LVM volume cannot be found 

in dracut doing 
ls /dev/mapper
shows no logical volumes
 
and 
lvm lvscan 
lvm pvscan
lvm vgscan
commands show nothing
 

I've tried reinstalling grub2

grub2-install /dev/sda
[root@furano jnm11]# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

when I am booted in to a 3.6 kernel I get
