[Bug 368551] [NEW] Ubuntu 9.04 does not run vgchange before mounting filesystems

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I manually created my partitions before installing Mythbuntu in the following pattern:
/dev/sda1 100MiB ext3 /boot
/dev/sda2 2048MiB swap swap
/dev/sda3 extended
/dev/sda5 10GiB ext4 /
/dev/sda6 140GiB lvm2

/dev/sdd1 730GiB lvm2

Created a volume group data_archive from both /dev/sda6 and /dev/sdd1.
/dev/mapper/data_archive-home 870GiB ext3 /home

During installation, I experienced Bug 368318 on the first attempt, but
my second attempt succeeded. (I will note the difference in the other
bug)

After installation completed successfully, I rebooted the machine. It
did not boot completely because the checkfs.sh failed, noting an
inability to locate the lvm2 partition.

At the maintenance prompt, I am able to perform "mount -a" correctly.

Further, once I disabled the checkfs.sh (to see if I could get it to boot completely without it), the mountall command failed to locate the /home partition, giving the error:
 "* Mounting local filesystems... mount: special device /dev/disk/by-uuid/<...> does not exist"
<...> is the correct UUID of the lvm partition, but it's too long to type by hand.

This appears to be a failure of the boot process to perform vgchange -a
before attempting to check or mount the drives.

Hardware Information:
Dell Studio Hybrid
1 GB RAM
160GB HD
Intel GMA3100 Graphics

Software Information:
Mythbuntu 9.04 installed from the LiveCD, no patches applied at first, tried with an apt-get upgrade and received the same results.
