Re: LVM on LUKS

[Olaf Reitmaier Veracierta <olafrv@gmail.com>]

Please, you have to be more specific about the problem you are suffering.

There is a bug in fresh installs of lenny upgrade 5.01:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=515839

Solution:
1.- Restart the machine.
2.- In the GRUB press  'e' to edit the boot line which is failing (vmlinuz).
3.- At the end of the line put rootdelay=9 and press escape.
4.- Then press 'b' to boot.
5.- After reboot edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst to make permanent this 
options.

In the busybox console (initramfs) type this command:

   |lvm vgchange -a y <volume group name>|
   |exit|

I hope it can help you and other, it works for me.
