Sparc (SunBlade 1000) 1. Serial console/Guided partitioning/All files in one partition - ok. 2. Terminal/Guided partitioning with LVM - fails to boot. It looks like the LVM volumes are set up correctly, however the initramfs script scripts/local-top/lvm2 which is supposed to start the volumes up is not getting invoked. If I run it by hand, the device nodes in /dev/mapper get created, and I can exit initramfs shell to successfully complete the boot. This machine needs firmware loaded from the USB stick, and this causes (known?) issues: if I insert the stick to load the firmware, and then remove it immediately after the loading step, the real disk is still detected as /dev/sdb, and that's what gets written to the configuration. So if I later boot without the stick, the disk is detected as /dev/sda, causing problems. Amusingly, I can boot when using LVM, because /boot is a separate (non-LVM) partition and is only used to only read kernel and initrd, however filesystem check for /dev/sdb1 (which is /boot) fails, as device does not exist.
