Bug#942357: debian-installer: Install and boot fails with... Volume group "<host name>-vg" not found
Package: debian-installer
Version: AMD64 Testing October 7, 2019
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
Thank you very much for your efforts to make
Debian available to so many people.
I've been testing the installer.
The main reason I'm writing is that I seem to have
uncovered a (wait for ...) BUG!
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1.) I burned 3 DVDs of the AMD64 Testing distribution
dated October 7, 2019.
2.) I installed from them, specifying
UEFI,
no network connection,
Xfce instead of Gnome,
No printer and
guided configuration of an encrypted
logical volume. I used the default
configuration of
all available space,
root encrypted
swap encrypted
boot not encrypted
3.) I rebooted
* What was the outcome of this action?
Volume group "<host name>-vg" not found
Cannot process volume group logger-vg
(The previous 2 lines were repeated about
30 times>)
Gave up waiting for suspend/resume device
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/<host name>--vg-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.30.1.... (bla bla bla...)
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Xfce's login
Thanks,
Kingsley
