Hi,
what could be the problem with the backport kernels? They never finish
booting when the root fs is on an LVM volume.
Do I need to take special precautions with the backports kernel to get
it to boot? I have a separate /boot partition not on LVM and a biosgrub
partition with the root fs on an LVM logical volume. The default Wheezy
kernel boots just fine; the backports kernel gets stuck with the last
message being that some random-thing has been initialized. The kernel
is still alive then: I can plug/unplug USB devices and get messages
about it on the console. I can also see that the LVM volumes are
detected.
