That might just be it... I did find that running grub is *entirely* irrelevant, as /boot isn't even mounted in rescue mode in my case.

I added filters to /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
Rebuilt the initramfs ( dracut --force --add multipath --include /etc/multipath )
Cleaned up the additional WWIDs using 'multipath -W'

Then rebooted - came up in rescue mode.
I did nothing - but reboot again, and it came up just fine.

I will check into this bug and workaround and see what happens. Thanks for the find Peasant Smilie

Oh and the version is a bit higher..

dracut-033-502
But on article you linked, under the "affected systems" - the output is what I'm getting..

Either way, I went ahead and updated to dracut-033-552.el7 - just to see if there's any difference.

I think these are the related errors on boot:

Only at 4 posts, so can't post a link - but if you take out the spaces, I uploaded a pic of the KVM screen with one of the errors I think are related.
