Screenshot of the situation

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0

On a previously working M3 zypper dup to last version of factory (directly picked from download.o.o) with up to date patches from 16-20 May.

Whatever initrd you use (even a mkinitrd -A) a problem exist in volume detection, and this lead to a loop vg0 not found after entering the luks passphrase.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install factory (good luck) with the following partition schema 
sda1 -> ext4 /boot
sda2 -> Full pv + encryption (enter your desired passphrase)
create vg0 as volume group
create at least two logical volume (lvswap for swap) and lvsuse for / (made with btrfs)
2. Installation finish (was the case under M3) 
3. reboot
4. See warnings (see screenshot) about /lib/udev/vol_id etc ...
5. Enter you luks passphrase
6. See the loop in vg0 not found
7. Cry a bit ... 
Actual Results:  
Factory totally locked down ... Still accessible by other live distribution opening vg + luks and using chroot.
So no data are (yet) really lost.

I've no idea who's responsible for this mess :-) between mkinitrd, vol_id, udev, etc

Expected Results:  
A working boot process like it should be (especially at this stage now)

There's also a defect on plymouth/pango font created by mkinitrd which was working on the proposed submission. 

Feel free to raise up the severity.

I close this bug. I've killed now the defect install and install a new one with a fresh factory Beta.
