Bug#585852: Incorrect boot= in lilo.conf after UUID conversion with /boot on LVM

[Guido Günther <agx@sigxcpu.org>]

Subject: linux-base: postinst added wrong UUID to /etc/lilo.conf
Package: linux-base
Version: 2.6.32-15
Severity: normal

During the installation of linux-base it offered to switch my configs to
UUIDs. This worked well in /etc/fstab but didn't so for lilo.conf:

  #boot = /dev/sda3
  boot = "/dev/disk/by-uuid/azgLkk-WOjh-iwxd-eSUK-32a9-qEVm-Q7CIBJ"

which doesn't exist:

  $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/azgLkk-WOjh-iwxd-eSUK-32a9-qEVm-Q7CIBJ
  ls: cannot access /dev/disk/by-uuid/azgLkk-WOjh-iwxd-eSUK-32a9-qEVm-Q7CIBJ: No such file or directory

And therefore:

  # lilo
  Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
  Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/disk/by-uuid/azgLkk-WOjh-iwxd-eSUK-32a9-qEVm-Q7CIBJ")

/dev/sda3 is a PV with a VG (internal) on it that keeps the LVs root,
home, swap. The above UUID is the PVs UUID:

  # pvdisplay 
  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/sda3
  VG Name               internal
  PV Size               30,69 GiB / not usable 3,53 MiB
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size               4,00 MiB
  Total PE              7857
  Free PE               0
  Allocated PE          7857
  PV UUID               azgLkk-WOjh-iwxd-eSUK-32a9-qEVm-Q7CIBJ

So it seems the script doesn't handle /boot on LVM correctly.
Cheers,
