Bug#418490: lvm2: 'PANIC: circular dependancy' at boot

[Peter Salisbury]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.24-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I upgraded from 2.02.06 to 2.02.24 and got a 'PANIC: circular 
dependancy' on boot. Downgrading back to 2.02.06, rebooting with a 
previous linux image and running dpkg-reconfigure on the current 
linux-image fixed the problem.

dpkg-reconfigure used mkinitramfs-kpkg to make the initrd.

The system information below follows the downgrade.

All the Best, Peter
