When you do the latest round of Cauldron updates, you will be using a new version of systemd that now uses udev information to detect when LVM volumes are ready.
In the past with mkinitrd this information was never available due to the fact that LVM volumes were activated before udev started and thus appropriate change events could never be fired. We are now recommending the use of dracut over mkinitrd. Therefore, you should see the previous mail on this list about installing and testing dracut (you just need to install it and regenerate your initrd). If you find yourself with a system that is unable to boot, do not fret. You should be prompted to enter your root password to enter an emergency shell (you may have to press ESC to get rid of Plymouth graphics to see it). Once you enter your root password (the rootfs will still be mounted OK), then just manually call "mount /foo" for each partition you have on LVM (the commands should all work) and then type: "systemctl start graphical.target". Nothing here is fatal, but you need to be armed with info so as not to get stuck!
