[Bug 1208401] Re: saucy server lvm installations fail to boot

[Andy Whitcroft]

After much debugging we have determined that this is due to lack of
executable bits on the partman-lvm finish.d hook.  Fix uploaded to
debian.

** Package changed: lvm2 (Ubuntu) => partman-lvm (Ubuntu)

Title:
  saucy server lvm installations fail to boot

Status in “partman-lvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The lvm installations of amd64 and i386 images fail to boot and drop
  to initramfs shell  with the following error messages with the images
  of 20130803 onwords:

  Alert: /dev/mapper/utah--12256--saucy--server--i386--vg--root does not
  exist. Dropping to shell.

  
  When compared to the earlier good images, i noticed libdevmapper-event is not getting installed in the failed ones as part of lvm2 dependency. Install log is attached from a failed installation.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install utah using
     sudo apt-add-repository -y ppa:utah/stable
     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install utah

  2. Now run
  sudo -u utah -i run_utah_tests.py -i /path/to/saucy-server-amd64.iso -p lp:ubuntu-test-cases/server/preseeds/lvm.preseed lp:ubuntu-test-cases/server/runlists/lvm.run -x /etc/utah/bridged-network-vm.xml

  3. It could be noted that the vm will fail to boot after the
  installation.
