Public bug reported:
Greetings,
My Father's system has 3 hard drives in Linux software raid level 5, with LVM
root on top.
Under Hardy x86_64 kernel 2.6.24-12-generic, this was working perfectly but
subsequent updates (namely 2.6.22-14-generic and 2.6.24-15-generic) have broken
this.
The problem appears to be with the initramfs, in that with the later
initramfs images the raid arrays are all stopped. As they are never
started, LVM volumes cannot be detected and the system cannot boot. The
machine sits just there.
The arrays are not dirty - booting to 2.6.24-12-generic continues to
work correctly and /proc/mdstat shows clean arrays.
I'm assuming the mdadm hook has been broken, but I haven't looked into
this any further.
Cheers,
Chris
