Bug#347482: initramfs-tools: Fails to boot with / on LVM and /boot on separate partition
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.48 The new option in Debian Installer to automatically partition using LVM creates a system where / and most other partitions are on LVM, but /boot is a separate real partition. The initrd created using initramfs-tools fails to boot with this setup and seems not to be aware at all the LVM is needed. pgpPOcflku6EA.pgp Description: PGP signature

The initrd created using initramfs-tools fails to boot with this setup and seems not to be aware at all the LVM is needed. i'm a bit puzzled as i use root on lvm and the generated initramfs had vgchange and the dm-mod module. so no ordering problem by d-i. can you say what was the exact boot failure? what where the last messages on the console.. any additonal hint about what module i-t failed to load? cat /proc/modules what were the boot args? cat /proc/cmdline -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
