+So I guess you're in the initrd? What kind of filesystem are you
+running? I happily have e2fsck in my initrd.
+
+Reboot with an older kernel and make sure that's still OK first then try
+and investigate why dracut will not generate a working initrd for you.
+
+I deliberately held back on updating dracut until after the usrmove as I
+wanted to use the same version as on mga2. Since the usrmove is quite
+far behind us now, dracut has been upgraded. I called for tests a while
+back but received no negative feedback so now it's out to the masses.
+I'd investigate exactly what's causing the broken initrd first and
+foremost. e.g. by looking at what it says when it's generating etc.
