11 For what it's worth, I came across issues with my LVM/LUKS setup when I tried
12 dracut, and in my searches came across [1] (fedoraproject.org). When dropped
13 to the dracut emergency shell, the idea is to locate and flag your root volume
14 in order to allow the boot process to continue.
15
16 It varies between setups, but the idea is that you make your root volume
17 accessible through whatever means (lvscan, cryptsetup, dm-crypt, whatever),
18 then symlink it to /dev/root.
19
20 Once that's done, you then `exit` the shell to allow the boot process to continue.
