It seems to work if, after it waits unsuccessfully for a root partition, and gives me the (initramfs) prompt, I enter the command vgchange -a y I found this on the web in an archlinux website. There was other advice there that didn't work (such as using an lvmwait=/dev/md0 kernel parameter) but then archlinux isn't Debian. And to get it to resume booting, I just need to end the busybox shell with a control-D. Now I can get on with the squeeze->wheezy upgrade. -- hendrik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
