[Bug 596554] [NEW] Unable to mount root LVM partition

[Freddie Witherden]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

Installed Ubuntu using the alternate install CD. Tried both 10.04 and
10.10 alpha (same results for both). Used guided partition w/LVM. (Hence
/boot is a normal partition, ext2, / is ext4 on LVM.)

Upon rebooting the system I was dropped to an initramfs prompt on
account of the root partition, /dev/mapper/bromine-root not existing.
However, use of the lvm utility shows no abnormalities (lvdisplay,
pvdisplay, lvscan and pvscan all print out what I would expect them to).

ls of /dev/mapper shows just a control node. System is unable to boot.

System in question had previously been running 9.04 with a very similar
partitioning scheme. Worked perfectly.
