Argl. Totally stupid.

Look at modules.d/99base/module_setup.sh:

     ## save host_devs which we need bring up
     if [[ $hostonly_cmdline == "yes" ]]; then
         if [[ -f "$initdir/lib/dracut/need-initqueue" ]] || ! 
dracut_module_included "systemd"; then
             (
                 if dracut_module_included "systemd"; then
                     DRACUT_SYSTEMD=1
                 fi
                 PREFIX="$initdir"

                 . "$moddir/dracut-lib.sh"

                 for _dev in ${host_devs[@]}; do
                     [[ "$_dev" == "$root_dev" ]] && continue
                     _pdev=$(get_persistent_dev $_dev)

                     case "$_pdev" in
                         /dev/?*) wait_for_dev $_pdev;;
                         *) ;;
                     esac
                 done
             )
         fi
     fi

So if /etc/fstab contains just the root device (or if the swap 
device resides on a different device which is initialized earlier)
the initqueue will _never_ run, and the worker scripts will never
be executed.
Once I remove the '[[ "$_dev" == "$root_dev" ]] && continue'
line the system boots.

Cheers,

Hannes
