I have to update my previous statement. My /boot was not wiped-out, it was not mounted !?! That was explaining why it was empty.
However, I am not explaining myself why since yesterday updates in mdadm and lvm-common, I have so many troubles to boot.
Just to make things clear: I have /boot (ext3) directly on a dedicated partition. Then on another partition I have created a LVM physical volume which contains one volume group which is made of two logical volume one for / and one for /home.

After, yesterday's update, when booting the system it displays after a while the text mode screen and does nothing more (last messages are usually about mdadm of lvm). If I press Ctrl+Alt+Del, some things get killed and the boot process continues. I have my X login screen. However, /home and /boot are not mounted. Only / is mounted.

I'm logging in using the text mode console, mount the /home and /boot. Then, switch back to the graphical login and I'm then able to use my system as usual!
I do not know what is wrong for the moment... trying to find out...
