Ok, so using the F27 installed kernel works on F28.
What else would you expect? The kernel doesn't care what version
of Fedora you're running. If it did, the upgrade would have
removed the F27 kernels.
That was just a lead in to the issue being with dracut. I
reconsidered how to write that part a few times and I think in the
end I lost part of what I was thinking and wanted to say. :-)
I'm pretty sure it is dracut. Installing the normal kernel from
Fedora 27 and it won't boot either. I saw dracut complaining about
not finding busybox and biosdevname so I installed them and
reinstalled the kernel - same results. I also get a couple of grep
errors referring to /usr/lib/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd but
I think they're harmless and dnf whatprovides can't find that file.
I'm going to try booting a live cd (xfce f28 i386) and if that works
I'll just reinstall. Otherwise I'll leave it like it is until I can
get the machine cleaned out and shutdown for good.
If I can figure out what is different in the initrd, I'll reply with
the info.
If you're using BIOS RAID on a non Intel controller (so you've a RAID
set which the BIOS can see so it can boot from it) then it might very
well be a problem with dmraid, which is the tool which recognizes the
RAID headers.
Try running dmraid -r that will show a list of recognized RAID sets,
if that does not see any sets try downgrading dmraid to the version
from F27 and see if it then does recognize your raidset.

Hans
