Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.39-4
Severity: important
Hi,
I have two sid systems with all filesystems except /boot on an encrypted
lvm device. Since yesterday, both of them do not boot properly anymore.
I guess this is caused by the lvm2 upgrade.
After passphrase entry, get the following error:
cryptsetup: failed to setup lvm device
After some time I get
Gave up waiting for the root device. [...]
and I'm dropped into busybox, I can continue the boot process by
running
. /scripts/local-top/lvm2
I saw that there is also an
/scripts/local-top/lvm
If I run this script it just spats out the exact same message that I
already got ("Gave up waiting for the root device. [...]").
I do not know much about the linux boot process but
maybe /scripts/local-top/lvm is an old file (from ealier versions of
lvm) and should be remove?
cheers,
Hp.
