I am also having this problem. Thanks for the bug report BTW, I was able to boot my server finally with the info here. I have to boot with break=mount then do the lvm vgscan/lvm vgchange -ay then CRTL-D and bootup goes fine. If I don't break on the LILO boot, it freezes after assembling the RAID arrays. That always seems to be the case, I haven't had any problems with degraded arrays and the like. Just LVM.

Is there somewhere in the scripts I can put the lvm commands to get this to at least boot automatically? I am not that familiar with the init scripts for the initrd.

I am also an Edgy->Feisty upgrade, AMD64 running in 32-bit mode.

Running update-initramfs does not help.

Running LILO I get this error: (I noticed it because update-initramfs runs lilo)
----------
Warning: '/proc/partitions' does not match '/dev' directory structure.
    Name change: '/dev/dm-0' -> '/dev/.static/dev/vol1/swap'
    The kernel was compiled without DEVFS, but the '/dev' directory structure
        implements the DEVFS filesystem.

I don't know if it is related. LILO continues and seems to work fine otherwise.

I did an apt-get update; apt-get upgrade and everything installed fine.
