Title:
  Ubuntu 9.04 does not run vgchange before mounting filesystems

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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.
