Then it looks like the idea of mounting /sys inside the hotplug helper 
(before /init starts) is currently bad. This definitely needs 
investigation, because otherwise timeouts happen in firmware loading.

Could you please check that a simple /init-only initramfs (i.e. without 
the hotplug handler) doesn't crash for you? Take the /init file from my 
previous mail and replace the vgchange with something like "echo we are 
in initramfs", in order to really see that initramfs is activated.
