Package: grub-pc Version: 2.02~beta2-3 Hi Colin,
I have the strangest issue which I am not even entirely confident is a GRUB issue, but it started right after upgrading my system to GRUB 2.02 from experimental, and without other changes, and it's even reproducible when running my system inside kvm off a thumbdrive, so I'm going to provisionally blame it on the GRUB 2.02 beta build.
I'm running a pretty standard LVM setup -- there's other stuff on this hard disk (like the preinstalled Windows), but one of the MS-DOS partitions is an LVM PV, containing a VG named "leveret", containing two LVs named "root" and "swap". /boot itself is located on the "root" LV. Every time I start up, since the upgrade, the initramfs fails to find my root hard disk via its /dev/disk/by-uuid path, and dumps me to a shell. If I look inside /dev/mapper, I see a node for "leveret-swap" but not "leveret-root". `lvm lvs` happily lists both nodes, though, and I can get my system to boot if I do `lvm vgchange -an`, `lvm vgchange -ay` (at which point both nodes appear, as well as the by-uuid symlink), and `exit`. (Resume-from-hibernate even worked after doing this, right after the upgrade.) There's nothing particularly suspicious-sounding in dmesg at any point.
The machine is a Toshiba L635 laptop, a few years old, BIOS boot only, running a somewhat out-of-date Debian testing, amd64. I'm running linux-image-3.9-1-amd64 3.9.8-1 (from testing this past summer or so) and lvm2 2.02.95-7. I'm happy to try to upgrade these, but since I haven't upgraded anything else on the system for a few weeks, I figured I'd report this and leave the system alone in case you had more questions about the current setup.
Let me know if you need any more information from me or want me to try anything. I'm at a bit of a loss how GRUB could have caused this, but I don't have any other ideas what's going on.
