Do you have /usr on a logical volume?
I've figured out now, that /lib/dracut/hooks/pre-pivot/50mount-usr.sh is
failing, as lvm has not yet been activated.
Later, I'm dropped to a shell, after the switch to the new root, and
since /usr hasn't been mounted, any commands that try to load
/usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5 such as lvm, grep, or less, will fail.
When I've copied /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5* to /lib and run ldconfig,
it still fails in 50mount-usr, but succeeds later, after the root
switch.
The dm-mod module loading, and the "lvm vgchange -ay --sysinit" command
should be run before looking for the root file system, as it too could be
on a logical volume.
