You could try to edit the kernel line from the grub boot menu. Remove
the rhgb and quiet options. This won't fix the problem, but it should
show you what's happening before the hang.

It could be that your initramfs file is corrupt - it doesn't have
references to the correct disks. If so, booting into rescue mode,
chrooting to the real root and running dracut again might fix it. But
that is just a guess.

On my system, with a separate boot partition I'd run:

dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
