Fedup upgrade of F17 to F18 dracut issue

[Mark Haney]

I know I'm a bit late to the game on this issue, but the problem I'm having is only happening on my Gateway/Samsung netbook so it's not been a problem.  I'm finally getting time to work on it and I can't seem to find anything that specifically addresses my problem.  Here's the issue:

dracut-initqueue[200]: Warning: Could not boot.
dracut-initqueue[200]: Warning: /dev/mapper/vg-marius-lv_root does not exist
dracut-initqueue[200]: Warning: /dev/vg_marius/lv_root does not exist
dracut-initqueue[200]: Warning: /dev/vg_marius/lv_swap does not exist

Now, this isn't my first issue with this netbook and booting Fedora.  To get F17 booting (because I had a similar problem initially with GRUB) I ended up doing this from grub>:

set prefix=(hd0,5)/boot/grub
set root=(hd0,1)
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda5 ro
initrd /initrd.img
boot

It's definitely been a while since I had to do with F17, so I don't think the problem is the same, but I tried doing that from grub using 'linux /vmlinuz-fedup'  but that didn't work. When I googled the error this morning, the only real fix that I could find was to edit rd.dm=0 to rd.dm=1.  Another mentioned building a new initramfs, but neither seems to really apply to my problem.  This is what my UPGRADE grub line looks like:

setparams 'System Upgrade (fedup)'

    load_video

    set gfxpayload=keep
    insmod gzio
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ext2
    set root='hd0,msdos5'
    if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
        search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos5 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos5 --hint-baremetal=ahci\   
        0,msdos5 --hint='hd0,msdos5' 829c424e-a791-49ba-884d-8783a8289ca3
          else
             search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set-root     829c424e-a791-49ba-884d-8783a8289ca3
    fi
    echo 'Loading System Upgrade (fedup)'
    linux    /vmlinuz-fedup root=/dev/mapper/vg_marius-lv_root ro rd.lvm.lv=vg_marius/lv_root rd.md=0 rd.lvm\
.lv=vg_marius/lv_swap SYSFONT=True KEYTABLE=us rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd.dm=0 rhgb quiet upgrade systemd.unit=s\
ystem-upgrade.target plymouth.splash=fedup enforcing=0 
    echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
    initrd /initramfs-fedup.img

Since I had to type it in directly, any misspellings are my fault.  Hopefully, it's completely accurate.  

As I said, I can't quite decide the proper answer to fix this, so does anyone else have and helpful ideas?
