Actually, the initramfs finished without a single error: between

there is not a single error. The initramfs did what it needed to do;
the user space failed *after* initramfs switched root.
Did you recreated the initramfs after the kernel recompilation? 1st
rule of non-trivial initramfs: you need to recreate it everytime you
change kernels.
Which partition is the LVM one? /home or /data? Either way, either
partition should not matter to boot the system correctly. We need to
see the errors *after* the initramfs switched root; maybe you can
delete /var/log/messages, reboot, and post it?

So the init thingy is going to print all that stuff each time? Or is
that the debug stuff you had me add to the grub line? Please say it is
so. It's one reason I checked my email. I was counting and realized
the debug stuff that was added may haver done all that. Taking a deep
breath helped tho. ;-) I still want my hands on that neck tho. lol
It was the debug stuff; every line that look like
"dracut: + stuff here"
was debugging information; AFAICT dracut mounted /dev/sda3
as root then it mounted the two other partitions it found.
But this could be a problem (from your other email):
root@fireball / # dracut -H -f /boot/init-thingy
E: Dracut module "lvm" cannot be found.

dracut couldn't find it's lvm module, even though your USE
flags are set correctly. Can you try re-emerging dracut with
its current USE flags?
You should have a folder in /usr/lib/dracut/modules named
'lvm' that has a 'module-setup.sh' script in it, plus
probably some other support files, if everything got
installed correctly.
