Description of problem: When I try to boot a system using an initramfs built with dracut 024-1 I get dropped to a dracut prompt before the rootfs password is requested. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 024-1 (on both f18 and f19). How reproducible: It seems to happen all of the time on the systems I have.

There were a lot of messages referring to initqueues that didn't make it into the dmesg output. I wasn't able to find init.log (which is maybe where they would have ended up), so I don't have a log of them.

[ 0.000000] Command line: ro root=/dev/mapper/luks-467a842c-0c9e-4fad-b670-15edc0dd2485 SYSFONT=True LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=us rdshell rdinitdebug Err... you did not specify "rd.luks.uuid=467a842c-0c9e-4fad-b670-15edc0dd2485" which anaconda would have added for you. And dracut does not include "/etc/crypttab" anymore, because it's host specific. It seems to be a custom install also, because the luks.uuid is missing. Anyway.. it should have worked. I'll debug it on my local machine.
ok, found the bug. "rd.auto" is not automatically switched on for F18. Does it work, if you add "rd.auto=1" to the kernel command line? This will be the default in the next build.
dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18
Should https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Dracut_problems get updated to reference journalctl instead of init.log? (Is init.log gone from all supported Fedora versions now?) dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18 works fine for me.

I would prefer to let the wiki point to: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html which is generated from: http://git.kernel.org/?p=boot/dracut/dracut.git;a=blob;f=dracut.asc for which I happily accept any patches to improve the document.
(In reply to comment #12) > Is init.log gone from all supported Fedora versions now? init.log is gone in all initramfs, which contain systemd (Fedora >= 18)
dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
