Bug#594472: grub-pc: scary messages and very long boot time after upgrade

2010-09-01 Thread Dh H
More observance; I upgraded udev to 161-1 from SID and did not pay attention while I was booting the faulty VM. So the VM waited on passphrase input. When I came back, entered the password, nothing happend and the VM was completely stuck and consuming 100% processor. I killed it and rebooted and

thanks for the analysis. I'm under the impression that mdadm does assemble the raids, but then fails to recognize the partition table. But I don't know whether this is still in the realm of mdadm's responsibility, or whether some other package (linux-image-*?) should be responsible instead.

Downgrading MDADM helped for me, but not completely. The behaviour at the beginning is still the same, such that it does not find the volume-group. But now I am dropped into a shell instead of getting these /sys/devices/virtual/block/mdX messages. In that shell I can use lvm to bring the vg up
