Source: grub-pc-bin
Version: 2.02~beta2-7
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrade from 2.00-22 to 2.02~beta2-7
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Found reference to bug 741464, not exactly the same but worth trying, nothing
else found on Net
Boot with installation disc, mount LVM partitions, chroot, downgrade to 2.00-22
using dpkg, update-grub
* What was the outcome of this action?
Booted OK, then downgraded related 2.02~beta2-7 packages
Additional information: during boot, was dropped to an initramfs shell when
root partition not found. Only two partitions found, the reiserfs sda1 /boot
and the swap partition in LVM, problem seemed to be failure of reiserfs in LVM.
Tried with rootdelay=30 seconds, no different
