Package: src:linux
Version: 3.8-1~experimental.1
Severity: normal
My / is on a LVM volume. Kernel 3.8 logs 'Volume group "ssd" not found'
and "/dev/mapper/ssd-debian not found" on startup
These messages do not come from the kernel. LVM2 is a userland thing;
the kernel only provides the building blocks for it (device-mapper).
and drops me in the
initramfs shell. The LVM pv, vg and lv are visible in lvm just fine, but
the logical volume is not activated and thus not accessible to the
system.
(initramfs) lvm
lvm> lvchange -a y ssd/debian
fixes the problem.
This works fine in 3.2.0-4 and 3.7-trunk. initrd has the same timestamp
for both 3.7 and 3.8.

I suspect this may be due to a difference in timing of device
initialisation. AFAIK initramfs-tools still doesn't know how
to handle asynchronous device discovery and relies on you to
fudge it with the 'rootdelay' parameter.
