Sorry, I forgot about that.

I just tried my test LVM system with dracur-037-r1 and it didn't work.
I have not tried yet your workaround, but there is obviously something
fishy going on with the latest version of dracut; I would stay with
036-r4.

I will try your workaround, although my system is a little more
complicated, since it uses RAID and LUKS besides LVM.
