Comment 2 for bug 139337

Downloaded Gutsy Tribe 5 - Server Edition CD, installed from fresh, adding the LVM drives during hte manual partitioning step. Everything worked fine until I rebooted at end of installation, to be met with the same issue, got dropped into a maintenance shell.

I figured this was weird, as I could mount and see the drives during installation, so I had a look to see if there was anything I could do.
Sure enough, with a fresh install, the output from LVS shows that the drives are not actually marked as available. running vgchange -a y data brought the drives online, and they promptly appeared in /dev/data and /dev/mapper/

Rebooting after having done that seems to forget, always fails the fsck, and I need to activate the volume group, and then press Ctrl-D to continue booting.
