--- Begin Message ---Package: linux-2.6 Version: 3.3~rc6-1~experimental.1 Severity: important Hi, I installed the 3.3.0-rc6-amd64 kernel from experimental on a squeeze VM. The system fails to boot this kernel as it can no longer find the root file system. When booting with the quiet option off, I see that the lvm command in the initrd segfaults. Are there any changes in the new kernel that require a more recent LVM?
