Bug#239068: More information for you, I hope.
Hello, I hope this is going to the right people.
I just installed the current netinst ISO (as of Saturday March 27th) and tried
to get LVM to work. It failed off the bat, but with some rearranging I got it
to work. I will set out what that was:
#1 - As this bug indicates, /target/dev/base/* were not created, leading to
problems.
I manually copied them from /dev at the right part of the process to continue.
#2 - the kernel package wouldn't install.
This was due to a failure in mkinitrd, because the lvm tools were not installed.
Before the kernel package is installed, the following packages need to be
installed for mkinitrd to work:
lvm-common, lvm10
which depend on
file, libmagic1, binutils.
I added the above 5 packages to the list of packages to install in
/usr/lib/deb[can't remember]/scripts/sarge and the rest of the install went
properly.
Keep up the good work, hope this is helpful.
