For example, if you install a linux kernel on a system where the / filesystem is on an LVM volume, then you move the / filesystem to a raw partition, change the grub boot commands and /etc/fstab appropriately, initrd/initramfs still fails with an "/bin/lvm exited abnormally with error 5" message. It does not seem to me that there is any reason that initrd/initramfs should care what return code lvm returns as long as it can mount the / filesystem. It also messes about with raids, generally unnecessarily.
