Hello dear debian users! Recently, one jessie notebook I administer went through a forceful shutdown (holding down the power button) and after that grub cannot see the lvm physical volume by uuid. After trying to load the volume for some seconds, it gives the following message and drops to a minimal initramfs shell:
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args - check rootdelay=(long enough?) - check root=(right device?) - Missing modules ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/090f9d09g0f9g-xx-xxxxxx does not exist. Dropping to a shell Using this minimal shell I'm able to go to this path and it actually does not contain any reference to this physical volume. Also, on /dev/mapper/ there is no reference to the root and home logical volumes, but there is a reference to the swap logical volume. Using a live distribution I had no problem mounting this volume and accessing its contents, so no real damage, but I would be glad on some pointers on how to make grub recognize it again. I've tried booting "by-id" and old school "/dev/sdaX" directly but had no luck. It was once installed using the default guided lvm partition from debian installer. TIA -- André N.
