Are you using systemd in your initramfs (whatever implementation you are using)? I just tested with dracut using systemd dracut module and it does not work - it hangs forever waiting for device. Of course, there is no way to abort it and go into command line ... Oh, wait - what device names are you using? I'm using mount by UUID and this is where the problem starts - /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx will not appear unless all devices have been seen once ... ... and it still does not work even if I change it to root=/dev/sda1 explicitly because sda1 will *not* be announced as "present" to systemd until all devices have been seen once ... So no, it does not work with systemd *in initramfs*.
