Description Reinhard Max 2006-02-02 16:35:08 UTC 
After installation with / being on a logical volume the initrd fails to find the logical volume and gives up. It's last words are:

---- snip ----
Loading dm-mod
Loading dm-snapshot
Waiting for /dev/mapper/control to appear:  ok
Loading reiserfs
  Invalid volume group name: fensch/root
Attempting manual resume
not found -- exiting to /bin/sh
$
---- snap ----

"fensch" is the name of the volume group I created and "root" the name of the logical volume. So somehow the relative pathname of the logical volume is misinterpreted as the volume group name.

There was some error in the LVM setup with mkinitrd. Please retest with the latest version from autobuild and re-open if the problem persist.
