Moving systemd to /sbin sounds like it's not going to work. Run readelf -d /usr/lib/systemd/systemd; all the NEEDED libraries on /usr/lib should be available to the binary at the time it's being executed. How did you get your initramfs? dracut? genkernel?

I use dracut for my initramfs; I would recommend you to try it. However, last time I tried to use it with LVM (a few days ago), the last version (037) failed, but 036-r4 worked perfectly.
