[Bug 631795] [NEW] [MAVERICK] fails to boot after install on dmraid set

[Tom Louwrier]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dmraid

hi

After *a lot* of troubles with Gparted and Grub / Grub-install, I managed to install Maverick Beta from an Alternative CD (iso image dated 05 sept 2010).
This is a system with Promise Fasttrack fakeraid, booting off 2 disks in striped mode. It's dual boot with XP.

When booting I see a lot of error messages that indicate a mismatch in the naming of partitions between dmraid and the kernel. It seems one is using the /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiab5 convention, while the other uses dm-5.
After a while it does boot, but as it does not mount /home on /dev/mapper/pdc_jcchiiab6, I can not log on.

I tried going into recovery mode, dropping into a root session on the right partition, mounting /home and then doing an update-initramfs -u to see if that would restore the right device names for my / and /home.
It did not work, so I'm not enjoying Maverick yet :-(
I'm linking this bug to the package linux as well, since I believe it is an issue between dmraid and the kernel.

If there is more information I should collect, please tell me what you
need, and give me some hints on how to get them. My CLI and debug skills
are limited.

cheers
Tom
