Newer kernels fail to boot due to missing lvm in initramfs generated by dracut.

Comment 1 Martin Sourada 2013-07-04 17:18:46 UTC

I apologize for the noise. I'm an idiot. After two hours of trying to fix this without success, 5 minutes after filing a bug I find lvm2 package was missing from my system... I'm sorry again for the false alarm.
