New F22 Kernels Can Not See LVs
Have a F22 server and I have not been able to boot off the last 2 kernel installs. The last upgrade 4.2.5 I took a chance that it was the kernel packages and just booted off the last good kernel which is:
kernel-4.2.3-200.fc22
So today I tried to upgrade to the latest:
kernel-4.2.6-200.fc22
And I get the same problem as I did the last kernel upgrade I tried which was:
kernel-4.2.5-201.fc22
So here is what I have and the results:
kernel-4.2.3-200.fc22 -> boots fine
kernel-4.2.5-201.fc22 -> does not boot
kernel-4.2.6-200.fc22 -> does not boot
After upgrading the kernel and rebooting and then selecting 4.2.5 or 4.2.6 kernels, the boot screen displays the following:
Mounting Configuration File System...
[ OK ] Mounted Configuration File System.
[ OK ] Started Show Plymounth Boot Screen.
[ OK ] Reached target Paths.

----> then after about 5 minutes of nothing

Does anyone know what is happening? We have many other systems that the upgrade works just fine on. Just not this system.
Still no success...
Compared grub.cfg entries sizes of boot img files and everything looks OK.
Does kernel install create or run something that configures the boot img files? I just can not figure out what is failing to allow the boot process to see the lvm volumes.
new kernel (kernel-4.2.6-201.fc22) does not boot
Might this be initramfs? If so how would I create a new one?
