<PRE>So ok, I just update my freshly installed mga2 to cauldron using network
install (live upgrade don't work, it seems urpmi fail to find a way to
update the system w/o filesystem).

I have the exact same result: it don't boot.

Sophie say 025.3.

&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> As mentioned, problem fixed seemed to manifest itself more with the fact
</I>&gt;<i> that the encryption module wasn't included, but if you have an encrypted
</I>&gt;<i> root (or the LVM is on an encrypted volume) then I can see this causing
</I>&gt;<i> problems (due to not detecting the encrypted volume, it won't then
</I>&gt;<i> traverse it to find any slaves needed for it and thus never get to the
</I>&gt;<i> LVM parent) and the 025.3 dracut should fix it (at least in theory, tho'
</I>&gt;<i> I would not rule out any other problems in this regard!
</I>
Only my /home is encrypted.

&gt;<i> So some more info about when the initrd was generated and when the
</I>&gt;<i> latest dracut version was installed would be useful to debug this
</I>&gt;<i> further. Also a description of your disk layout would be good too allow
</I>&gt;<i> me to create a similar setup for debugging.
</I>
Few minutes ago, at end of install or upgrade (as I said fresh install
of cauldron did the same).

&gt;<i> Cheers :)
