I duped the bug I just filed against yours, but re-reading it I am not
sure they are the same thing. 

Here it never drops me to a dracut shell, it just loops over and over
forever. It gives a "welcome to dracut" banner (which is normally the
welcome to fedora one. 

My debugging of this seemed to indicate that it was a problem in
pivot_root... it never could move /dev /sys mounts or switch root to
the /sysroot mount. 

I am running now with a older dracut and initramfs made with that, but
the latest f18 systemd just fine. 

So, It might be we are seeing different bugs here.
