Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.35-1 Followup-For: Bug #501259
I've just installed lenny on a Dell PowerEdge 1650 with a PERC3 hardware RAID controller. I experienced the same issue as the original poster. It seems that the `scripts/local-top/lvm2` only gets run once. The hardware raid controller takes a good few seconds to initialise and create the /dev/sda device that the LVM resides on. The system then enters its "Waiting for root filesystem..." loop, but it will never succeed unless the lvm2 script is re-run to create the /dev/mapper/... node that the root filesystem resides on. I've managed to get my system booting by adding `sleep 15` to the initramfs init script before it runs the lvm startup scripts, which gives the scsi time to come online, but this is hacky at best. Ideally udev should be detecting there is an LVM vg on the disk when it becomes available and should re-run the lvm script. -- Kevin Galloway [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02.1 2:1.02.24-4 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries lvm2 recommends no packages.
