It will take some effort to debug this.
The initrd (created by dracut) may also detect and active softraid and
lvm. I'm not sure if this really happens. I remember that we already
had some issue with raid or lvm activated by dracut and then
setup-storage could handle this later on.
BTW, which FAI version? This is also important.
