Bug#530776: lvm2: lv not activated in initrd.img leading to a system able to mount /

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.44-3
Severity: important

I've a system with /boot on a standalone partition and / in a LV. It has been working
like that since a very long time. Since my last upgrade, it does not work anymore.
During initrd, / cannot be mounted. Then, I got a prompt from busybox.
If I type "vgchange -ay" and exit busybox, then all works (/ if found and the
system boot normally).
I tried to regenerate initrd by calling
apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.29-2-amd64
but nothing changes (ie same problem of vg not activated without manual intervention
on reboot)

What is strange is that lvm2 does not seem to have been upgraded according to
/var/log/dpkg.log
What can I do to find the root of the problem ?

  Regards,
    Vincent
