Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.91d
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I've got a LVM setup on top of a raid1 (soft raid). Raid is detected fine but
the LVM was not.
Here is the problem.
LVM has an 'lvm' volume group and a 'root' logical volume.
Udev has two entries for this device :
- /dev/mapper/lvm-root
- /dev/lvm/root
On my first try, I had /dev/lvm/root defined as the mounted root device (in
/etc/mtab). Even if /dev/lvm/root is a symlink to /dev/mapper/lvm-root,
initramfs does not detect it as a LVM volume and therefore does not include
the scripts in the initrd.
The thing is, when detecting the root filesystem device, the script should
check if the device is a link and if so, check if the target is of the
form /dev/mapper/*
Changing the root filesystem to /dev/mapper/lvm-root solved the problem (after
I wasted about an hour).

duplicate bug report explained in many other already,
check out for rh lvm naming scheme and propose a solution.
