Patrick, I'm not pretty sure if I got you right.
After upgrading lvm-common to 1.5.19 the error is still there and my system is still unbootable (same error message as described already). What I've done now to upgrade to 1.5.19 is: - booted with the Debian-Installer RC3 CD (linux26 vga=791) - switched to a console with CTRL+ALT+F2 when partition screen appeared - modprobe dm-mod - vgscan - vgchange -a y VG - mkdir /mnt - mount /dev/mapper/VG-root /mnt - chroot /mnt - mount /proc - mount /dev/hda5 /boot - apt-get update - apt-get install lvm-common Regards, Michael -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Debian BTS [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Debian Bug Tracking System Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.
