Thanks Mike!, above solution worked and the system booted fine now:-)
# uname -r 4.20.0-rc1+ # cat /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/fedora_ltc--test--ci2-root ro rd.lvm.lv=fedora_ltc-test-ci2/root rd.lvm.lv=fedora_ltc-test-ci2/swap scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=Y
CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT kernel was not set in my kernel config, will set in future runs.
Thanks Michael!
