Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.26-21lenny3
Severity: important

Today I tried to replace CentOS to Debian in one of hosts. It has LVM
in standard (for CentOS) configuration:

/dev/disk-part1 - /boot
/dev/disk-part2 - LVM
 VolGroup00
   LogVol00  - root (centOS)
   LogVol01  - swap

I turned off swap, renamed (lvrename) it to debian, created
ext3 filesystem into /dev/VolGroup00/debian, mounted, used debootstrap
to install debian, chrooted into it

in chroot i installed linux-image, and lvm2, busibox, regenerated
initramfs and wrote grub config:

title Debian
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.26-2-686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/debian
    initrd /initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686

rebooting into debian lead me into log:

    Begin: Mounting root file system...
    Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done.
    Begin: Waiting for root file system ...

and hang up for a few munutes, then log has these records:

    Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
     - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
       - check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
       - check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) 
     - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
    ALERT! /dev/VolGroup00/debian does not exist. Dropping to a shell!


All these advices didn't help me to resove this problem :(


I was sick and tired trying on hardware and I went to virtualbox.
It has the same problem. I can easy reproduce it and can reply any
question.

I tried debootstrap squeeze, too. It has the same problem.

as documented in releasenotes use real device and not symlink:

root=/dev/mapper/vg-lv

this will fix it.

thanks for your report.
