Cannot boot VM using any kernel since 4.4.0-0.rc0.git2.1.fc24.i686

[L. F. Elia]

Good day, I am new here so forgive me oversights. 

I have started playing with rawhide very recently (using
Fedora-Live-LXDE-i686-rawhide-20151105.iso). I'm using rawhide in a virtual machine
(Virtualbox) and I have been unable to get any kernel to boot since
4.4.0-0.rc0.git2.1.fc24.i686. I tried booting Fedora-Live-LXDE-i686-rawhide-20151117.iso
(figuring I would reinstall) but that also failed. It always fails at Reached target Basic
System. 

I get dracut-initqueue timeout and once it enters the dracut shell, informs me that
/dev/fedora/root, /dev/fedora/swap, and /dev/mapper/fedora-root do not exist. Performing
an lvm vgscan says it reads all physical volumes. lvm vgchange -ay returns ok. ls
/dev/mapper lists only a crw named control.

I think I've seen a bug report about this, it may be fixed in the
latest kernel. Note that 32-bit is only marginally supported these
days, especially in virt; is there some particular reason you need to
have a 32-bit VM? If not I'd recommend using an x86_64 one.
