Bug#1028049: lvm2 is not available in the initramfs, causing the installation media be unmountable on systems using lvm2 when the ISO is booted using grub 2 loopback module



Package: rootskel
Version: 1.134
Severity: important
 
grub 2 has a feature of mounting iso images. It allows to boot the installation media without involving CDs and flash drives.
 
The installer relies on mountability of installation media. But when the installation media is on the fs within lvm2 it is problematic to make it to mount it. Currently one has to extract the initramfs, add the needed packages into it, and repack it back, and it has to be done on a working linux machine.

It’d be nice if the initramfs had all the needed components inside of it.
