Description Oliver Diedrich 2006-02-08 19:46:19 UTC 
Used a LVM volume for /. After fixing installation by copying /boot/* from / LV to the designated boot partition (see bug 148187), the system still does not start: It stops in the init script in initrd, dropping me to a shell. The problem: An erroneous vgchange call in init fails, so no logical volumes are available. Issuing a simple "vgchange -ay" in the shell fixes the problem. After closing the shell, the system boots correctly.

Hannes: Probably the initrd should be changed accordingly?

It looks like it's trying to activate the wrong volume group ...

There has been quite some improvements for Beta4. Please re-test and reopen the but if the problem persists.
Comment 4 Hannes Reinecke 2006-02-21 07:52:19 UTC 
And really fix it.
