I had a look at it and tried building and playing around.

I think I completely missed to mention compatibility volumes.

So if you used lvm and mdadm you need also mdadm and lvm support on initial 
image.

maybe not mdamd, this runned fine... 
Could Steinar, the maintainer of evms, could help to clear us some things?

ok, dont panic!

Assuming the initramfs at ubuntu people, that runs by default evms (in compat 
mode) always after mdadm and lvm2, are right: if we have compatibility 
volumes involved we have to use compatibility systems as well.

We have to check regions and see if lvm2 and/or compat raid, and so 
vgchange/mdadm, are needed.

We just need to find the corresponding devices devno's and call AddDevicePlan.

They cannot be evms volumes and so the right code from tryLvm and tryRaid 
should fill in, I will try this later on.

So it seems to be a simple fix to be made.

But I think I'm a bit confused...

Ok.
