As far as I can tell, the only way for that missing module message to show up is if you have that non-existing module listed in some dracut config file somewhere. You should check for stale files in /etc/dracut/dracut.conf.d, and in /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d. Remove any reference to the 'lvm2' module in the dracutmodules or add_dracutmodules variables. If you still can't get it working, post the output of dracut --debug foo.img somewhere please. Let's stick with dracut-041; I'm not interested in debugging an older version.
