I have identified the problem.
dist-upgrade was the problem:
1. lvm2 requires dmsetup
2. devicekit-disks conflicts with dmsetup
3. gnome-control-center and other gnome crap need devicekit-disks
4. so lvm2 and dmsetup get kicked out to rc status
5. then you can't boot with your kernel if / is on lvm2
:)
so
apt-get install dmsetup lvm2
will kick out lots of gnome stuff
but i use stumpwm anyway :)
I will start a new thread to publicize this information.
