XFS/LVM is not mounting anymore during boot

["askar.bektassov@gmail.com" <askar.bektassov@gmail.com>]

Hello folks,

have Debian 3.1, and after update in late december started having
strange issue with XFS/LVM partitions which are not mounted
automatically on boot... My system is

### uname -a ###

The fact is... once I boot the system it just goes up, and hangs during
boot process since GDM is not able to start (conf files are located on
missing partitions). Everything seems right, if I do

mount -av -t nonfs,nonfs4,nosmbfs,nocifs,noncp,noncpfs,nocoda 2>&1 |
        egrep -v '(already|nothing was) mounted'

 by hand (as /etc/init.d/mountall.sh should do) and magically all
partitions are back again... but why this doesn't happen on boot?

default runlevel is

### grep default /etc/inittab ###
id:2:initdefault:

and rc2.d has following services

### ls /etc/rc2.d/ ###
K00lpd      S10sysklogd   S20cupsys    S20nscd         S20winbind

therefore I suppose that LVM starts before MOUNTALL, and indeed after I
login locally I can see that /dev/mapper is populated with all the
needed partitions.

Did anyone ever had this kind of problem? Is there any settings that
filters out partitions to mount during boot? Thanks in advance.
