To reply to myself to the error after FC9 upgrade:

While tracking this error down, it is necessary to change in the automatically
generated initrd (after cpio-extracting it):

< mount /sysroot

> mount -t ext3 -o defaults,ro /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /sysroot

and

< switchroot

> switchroot /sysroot

And cpio the initrd again.

This is only necessary on one of my machines with a VIA mainboard and IDE
disks. I guess this could be a hardware specific bug? I'll report it.
