+OK, so the basic problem is that for whatever reason, when dracut
+created the initrd, it was unable to find all the deps (i.e. libs) for
+the bash binary.
+
+This is IMO a regression in latest dracut. I'll dig into why it's doing
+it but I suspect strongly it's related to a "lazy" depsolving mode, that
+doesn't work well in this case for some reason.
+
+Now that I know what's wrong you can probably generate a valid initrd
+simply by doing:
+
+ mv /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install.x
+
+Before generating the initrd and then moving it back when done. Verify
+with lsinitrd as before.
+
+However, if you can wait, I'll try and suss out the problem and issue an
+updated dracut package.
+
+Cheers
