Re: Grub does not recognize lvm physical volume by uuid after restart
I'm running jessie/sid, I've had the initramfs not recognize my root
partition a couple times recently after routine upgrades. The best, or
at least easiest, solution I've found to fix this problem so far is to
go in with a rescue boot CD and reinstall the kernel. It would be
nice if I didn't have reinstall my kernel after every other apt-get
dist-upgrade.
