With the current versions of dracut and lvm, lvm is failing to load
due to libncursesw.so.5 not loading.

I've solved it on my system for now, by copying
# ll /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     18 Jul  1 13:41 /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5 -> libncursesw.so.5.9*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 369968 Jul  1 04:01 /usr/lib/libncursesw.so.5.9*

to /lib, running ldconfig and adding
install_items+=(/lib/libncursesw.so.5.9 /lib/libncursesw.so.5)
to /etc/dracut.conf.
