--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.4 Severity: normal Hello, I'm using in my grub configuration Labels to point out, where my Rootfs is located. This looks like # kopt=root=LABEL=ROOT ro When the vlm2 initramfs-tools script runs this is translated so that $ROOT is something like /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT The script don't activates the vg's so that my root-fs is missing. I have in the switch statement in the activate_vg function the following lines appended and now it works (for me): /dev/disk/by-label*) lvm vgchange -aly --ignorelockingfailure exit 0 ;; I hope this can be fixed in the package, Thanks and best regards Ingo Rauschenberg -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=LABEL=ROOT ro vga=791 -- /proc/filesystems ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by loop 11783 0 sg 18728 0 sr_mod 12602 0 cdrom 29399 1 sr_mod snd_pcm 60615 0 snd_timer 15502 1 snd_pcm joydev 8411 0 snd 46350 2 snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 4598 1 snd snd_page_alloc 6217 1 snd_pcm dcdbas 5048 0 pcspkr 1699 0 psmouse 49505 0 evdev 7336 4 serio_raw 3752 0 power_meter 8302 0 processor 30215 16 ext3 106486 3 jbd 37053 1 ext3 mbcache 4970 1 ext3 dm_mod 53674 9 raid1 18175 1 md_mod 73632 2 raid1 usb_storage 38521 0 usbhid 33132 0 hid 62825 1 usbhid ses 5096 0 sd_mod 29689 5 crc_t10dif 1276 1 sd_mod enclosure 5471 1 ses uhci_hcd 18505 0 igb 77975 0 qla2xxx 202926 0 scsi_transport_fc 35275 1 qla2xxx megaraid_sas 29052 3 scsi_tgt 8434 1 scsi_transport_fc ehci_hcd 30706 0 scsi_mod 121925 9 sg,sr_mod,usb_storage,ses,sd_mod,qla2xxx,scsi_transport_fc,megaraid_sas,scsi_tgt dca 3729 1 igb usbcore 121703 5 usb_storage,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd nls_base 6377 1 usbcore bnx2 57289 0 button 4634 0 thermal 11674 0 fan 3346 0 thermal_sys 11878 3 processor,thermal,fan -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes do_bootloader = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n BOOT=local DEVICE=eth0 NFSROOT=auto -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11-1 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii findutils 4.4.2-1 utilities for finding files--find, ii klibc-utils 1.5.15-1 small utilities built with klibc f ii module-init-tools 3.12~pre2-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 151-3 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.14.2-2 Tiny utilities for small and embed initramfs-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---closing as bug is not really about initramfs, but more a lvm2 specific that it needs no UUID or LABEL workaround to use real device aka /dev/mapper/vg-lv is easy and recommend. it is the one that debian-installer uses. thanks for report -- maks
