Created attachment 880214 [details] Layouts of the disk's partitions Description of problem: When I switch on my computer (F20 system, installed on a SSD with LVM + encryption), there is a 50% chance that it wont boot. Instead of asking me the password to decrypt the drive, the system will stay stuck for a few minutes and then fall back to the emergency shell. I get the following warnings: dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: Could not boot. dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/fedora_tokyo/root does not exist dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/fedora_tokyo/root does not exist dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/fedora_tokyo/swap does not exist dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/fedora_tokyo/swap does not exist dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/mapper/fedora_tokyo-root does not exist dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/mapper/fedora_tokyo-root does not exist dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/mapper/fedora_tokyo-root does not exist dracut-initqueue[228]: Warning: /dev/mapper/fedora_tokyo-swap does not exist The system also generates a file "/run/initframfs/rdsosreport.txt" with potentially interesting info but I haven't been able to mount a USB key to save it (I'm a bit of a CLI noob). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Dracut: 034-64.git20131205.fc20.1 Linux: 3.13.7-200.fc20.x86_64 The problem has existed since I installed F20, a month or so after its release. How reproducible: More or less 50% of the times I boot up, but without any predictability. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot a computer with F20 on an encrypted drive 2. Watch the Plymouth "bubble" fill without asking for a password to decrypt the drive 3. Wait a few minutes before being switched to the emergency mode (shell with "dracut:/#") Actual results: System does not boot sometimes. Must be powered off and then rebooted, sometimes several times in a row, before Expected results: System should boot every time. Additional info: HP Pavilion g7 laptop.
