Michal, thanks a lot for the testing. Peter, looking at your mkinitrd code, it works only with CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED enabled when block devices are converted to class devices. Any chance to replace lstat() with stat() while looking for devices in sysfs? Remember, _anything_ in sysfs can be symlink or a directory, you can't assume one or the other. When things change internally in the kernel, we can often provide symlinks for backwards compatibility, but lstat() obviously can't works here.
