It just doesn't find the LVs.  Sorry I didn't take better notes.

Bug#567591: linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64: kernel package should conflict with lvm2 package from Lenny

2010-01-29 Thread Russell Coker
Package: linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64
Version: 2.6.32-5
Severity: normal

I have just done an upgrade from Lenny to Testing.

When I ran apt-get dist-upgrade it aborted because it tried to upgrade udev
first and the kernel wasn't new enough.  So I ran apt-get install
linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 which worked but then it didn't recognise the
LVM volumes.  I had to run apt-get install lvm2 to get newer lvm modules to
allow the kernel to mount an LVM based root filesystem.

It seems that either the newer kernel packages should conflict with old
versions of LVM, or the kernel should just work with the older LVM utilities.

A conflict could result in people accidentally removing lvm2, which we
really don't want.
