[Bug 824961] [NEW] Ubuntu 11.04 Server with encrypted LVM on dm RAID0 -- Incorrect metadata area header checksum - No volume groups found - ALERT! /dev/mapper/MachineName-root does not exist

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Using Ubuntu 11.04 Server with encrypted LVM and installed the Ubuntu-Desktop GUI installed.
Unity is Disabled and using Classic Veiw.

I have encrypted the entire Ubuntu partition and the User /home...
I have been using this for a couple of weeks now and shutdown everynight.
I am now for some odd reason maybe the last update broke it; today Aug 11,2011 is the first day I got this issue, I am not sure the cause...
After booting it asks for my Passphrase to unlock the partition, which I type in but after that I get:

Enter passphrase: **************************************************************
 Reading all Physical volumes. This may take a while...
 Incorrect metadata area header checksum
 No volume groups found
 Incorrect metadata area header checksum
 No volume groups found
 /scripts/local-top/cryptroot: line 1: can't open /dev/mapper/MachineName-root:no such file
cryptsetup: isw_abcdefghij_RAID0-1p5_crypt set up successfully

Next screen:

udevd-work [79]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/dm-5, 10) failed: No such file or directory
 
udevd-work [79]: inotify_add_watch(6, /dev/dm-3, 10) failed: No such file or directory

Gave up waiting for root device. Common Problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
   - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! /dev/mapper/MachineName-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.17.1 (Ubuntu 1:1.17.1-1-ubuntu1) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

(inintramfs) ls
dev		init		conf	lib	var	etc	sys	tmp
root	lib64	scripts	usr	sbin	bin	proc
(initramfs) 

I can not find any files  /var/logs, I can browse /proc and /root and ls
files in /proc which shows modules and cmdline files that for some
reason are showing as missing?

Is there anything I can do like mount the encrypted  partition with a
Live CD to edit or copy certain files to allow Ubuntu to continue to
boot up to the Desktop?

Thanks in advanced.
