I guess root filesystem RAID was already assembled (rc-scripts won't run
otherwise). It was LVM scan not done and LVM device nodes not created. I
had the same problem on my machine. I "fixed" that by using "/dev/root"
(or something like that) in /etc/fstab. But that broken initrd
generation (so the machine didn't boot after kernel upgrade).
