I just set up a machine where rootfs is also on a lvm on top of dmraid (an Intel ich8r board here) and get the same error.
It looks that when the init script tries to mount the rootfs the /dev/mapper/ devices are not there yet. When doing a 'dmraid -ay' by hand it takes around 1-2 seconds till the device nodes are all created. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- boot hangs polling for the root fs when using lvm on dmraid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
