+This is strange. I've got LVM on my system and it works fine :s
+
+Dracut should install all dynamic libs needed by apps. Which app needs
+this library specifically?

+
+Cool, good to know it works with tweaks... now to make it automatic.
+
+What is strange is that my initrd contains:
+
+[root at jimmy ~]# lsinitrd| grep libnc
+lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           18 Dec 17 10:41
+usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.5 -> libncursesw.so.5.9
+-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       399664 Jul  1 09:00
+usr/lib64/libncursesw.so.5.9
+lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           18 Dec 17 10:41
+usr/lib64/libncursesw.so -> libncursesw.so.5.9
+
+
+So I've got the necessary lib... I wonder if this is a side effect of me
+having lib64ncursesw-devel-5.9-2.mga2 installed (i.e. the dev package)?
+Perhaps it's someone the key to including the right lib? Perhaps you can
+test by installing the 32 bit devel package and seeing if the lib is
+then included automatically?
+
+
+FWIW, dracut is crazy easy to hack on so if you can have a play with it,
+I'll happily review and merge your patch into our package and push it
+upstream if needed.
