I wanted to add additional information to this bug. The same problem exists for LVM VG groups not being activated before initramfs-tools tries to mount an LVM root partition.
Specifically my issue occurred after reboot, after the update to Precise (Ubuntu Server). I got the "ALERT! /dev/mapper/my-root does not exist Dropping to a shell!" error and sent back to initramfs prompt. To fix the problem, I had to manually edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/lvm2 , and add the following line: vgchange -ay -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931929 Title: root on RAID:0 fails to boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/initramfs-tools/+bug/931929/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
