I had some problems installing RC2 on my Sparc (SunBlade 1000), when I 
chose the Guided partitioning with LVM option. The machine failed to 
boot after reboot at the end of the installation. It looks 
like the LVM volumes are set up correctly, however the initramfs script 
scripts/local-top/lvm2 which is supposed to start the volumes up is 
not getting invoked. If I run it by hand, the device nodes in 
/dev/mapper get created, and I can exit initramfs shell to 
successfully complete the boot.

This machine needs firmware loaded from the USB stick, and this causes
(known?) issues: if I insert the stick to load the firmware, and then 
remove it immediately after the loading step, the real disk is still 
detected as /dev/sdb, and that's what gets written to the 
configuration. So if I later boot without the stick, the disk is 
detected as /dev/sda, causing problems. Amusingly, I can boot 
when using LVM, because /boot is a separate (non-LVM) partition and is 
only used to only read kernel and initrd, however filesystem check for 
/dev/sdb1 (which is /boot) fails, as device does not exist.

Cheers.

Hi,

thank you for your installation-report you send quite some time ago.

Quite probably your issue has been addressed by now, if it hasn't please open 
a new bug report, so that we can re-investigate the issue.


cheers,
	Holger
