What happens if you invoke vgchange -ay in this shell? If it activates the volume group, exit the shell and see if it boots up. If it does not, then please check whether * your disk was detected (you should find it amongst the kernel messages), * your physical volume (probably /dev/sda2, but you can check eg. by issuing the pvs command after booting off the installation CD in rescue mode) is available, * lsmod reports dm_mod, dm_mirror and dm_snapshot, * and /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is sane (scan=?, filter=?; vgchange -vvv -ay may give further clues), * ls -l /dev/mapper. -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
