I'm having a problem where my LVM volume groups are not found during boot. I have to manually scan and mount them after the OS boots.
Debian Sarge/2.6.11-1 Volume is on a 3ware 9500S-8 Here's a snipped from the boot sequence: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loading modules... ide-cd ide-detect FATAL: Module ide_detect not fouCapability LSM initialized nd. sd_mod All modules loaded. device-mapper: 4.4.0-ioctl (2005-01-12) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Creating device-mapper devices...done.

If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2 filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock: e2fsck -b 8193 <device> fsck failed. Please repair manually. CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and continue system startup.
