can you attach the /run/initramfs/sosreport.txt? just mount /boot manually and copy over the file
anyway, what is the output of: # lsinitrd | head -4

Thank you for the quick fix, I didn't even have the time to return home to provide you the requested information:)
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 20 development cycle. Changing version to '20'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora20
I'm using fc18 and updated dracut-024-25.git20130205.fc18.x86_64 to dracut-029-1.fc18.2.x86_64.rpm. First thing I noticed was the absence of /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf in the new dracut. That's why I ran dracut to generate a new initramfs and compared it to the initramfs file I had before. It turned out to be almost twice as large, not necessarily a problem, but inside I noticed among others lvm was missing. And that would be a big problem because I am using lvm + md. So I reverted dracut, /etc files, initramfs back because I doubt my system will boot using new dracut and initramfs. And this bug report seems to confirm my fears.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
