I have recently upgraded one of my machines from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS and
have been unable to boot it since.
The root partition is on a RAID Array with LVM installed.
I can boot using a Live CD and using the nodmraid option then load lvm2 and
mdadm. I can then activate the arrays and restore the volume groups. The
files appear intact but it appears that lvm is not being loaded during boot.
I have also discovered that GRUB was not upgraded to GRUB2

GRUB starts and begins to load. it them fails to find the root file
system and drops into a shell.<br>
