Bug#420583: vgscan makes the unionfs module panic when running in qemu

[Boroczki Lajos]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.24-6
Severity: important

I have made an image with make-live using the following command:

sudo make-live --packages "debootstrap lvm2 fdisk mdadm e2fsprogs reiserfsprogs
reiser4progs xfsprogs jfsutils linux-image-486" --flavour minimal --mirror
http://ftp.hu.debian.org/debian

Then started qemu with the generated binary.iso as the cdrom.
When it reaches the vgscan part, it bails out with the following:

It works fine for etch, so I'll stick with it for now.

Thanks,

ps: Sorry for my english, haven't used it lately...
