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. -- Alexander E.
