My disk structure is as follows:
Disk 1:
Part 1: boot
Part 2: LUKS -> LVM -> root & swap

Disk 2 & 3:
mdadm raid -> LUKS -> LVM (same vg as above) -> home

After updating to linux-3.7.7-1 (from 3.7.6-1) the LVM volumes for root & swap are not mounted automatically on boot and I am dropped to an emergency shell.
There I can mount the volumes manually using the -P (partial) option and boot continues normally.
This task depends upon

What you are doing is dangerous and unsupported. LVM volume groups will only be activated when they are complete. We will not support autoactivation of partial groups.

If you don't want to activate both PVs in initramfs, then split into two separate VGs. If you don't want that, you MUST unlock both PVs in initramfs in order to activate your VG.
