Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.62-1
Severity: normal

I've updated by accident (lack of better knowledge...) only
libdevmapper, but not dmsetup. Afterwards my system didn't boot anymore:

Fortunatly I could still boot into a 2.6.30 (but not in a 2.6.31-32)
kernel and update also dmsetup, which solved the issue.
