Bug Description

During bootup, I get errors to say that the kernal cannot mount the filesystems that are on an LVM. When I choose "M" for manual recovery, it shows that no LVM devices have been created under /dev/mapper/* or /dev/dm-*

It is easy to fix, and resume the boot by running "vgchange -v -a y" but it is annoying that the system will not boot without manual intervention, and if it happened to a less knowlegable user they would be stuck.

On my system the root, and other volumes necessary for the system to run are setup as normal partions on a small ssd. I have a large hard disc setup as an LVM phisycal volume that contains logical volumes for media files and the like that are not necesary for boot or basic system operation, but are wanted for deskop usage.
