grub2-probe error cannot stat devtmpfs

Is anyone else having grub2 problems in Rawhide? I get this error that I can only fix with chroot using live CD:

Code:
# grub2-probe /dev/sda
grub2-probe: error: cannot stat `devtmpfs'.

# /sbin/grub2-probe --device-map="/boot/grub2/device.map" --target=fs -v /boot/grub2

Do I need to alter my fstab even more?
Code:

devpts                           /dev/pts  devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                            /sys      sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                             /proc     proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/mapper/vg_hostname-lv_root  /         btrfs   defaults        1 0
/dev/mapper/vg_hostname-lv_home  /home     btrfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/mapper/vg_hostname-lv_swap  swap      swap    defaults        0 0
Or is the problem related to a bug about lvm not working with /dev/dm-0 ?

Re: grub2-probe error cannot stat devtmpfs

Code:
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 18 (Rawhide)
I was just wondering what's up with this grub2/grubby error in the last few days that also shows as a systemd error after an incorrect kernel update.
