Hello,

A bit more testing leads me to the following :

Using a volume not ending with a number seems to help grub2 to perform correctly.
But after several reboot I can tell the following :
Sometimes it will boot properly on the fakeraid and have the root on the fakeraid.
Sometimes it will boot improperly and end up with a root being a device of the fakeraid and all other fs not mounted.
Sometimes it will crash telling it can't find the root FS.

During all of that I have used a custom entries allowing a full boot but letting me see the boot.

For the improper boot and the can't find root it complains that at least one of the path of the dm failed with a timeout.

I have also done several reboot with a break=mount.

Without error message an ls /dev/mapper give results.
In other case the content of /dev/mapper is empty. Meaning the fakeraid is not present. Waiting the error message to show up.
Do an ls again and than I have entries under /dev/mapper.

So there is something there to dig.

Now how can we create a bug entry for that so that someone can work on it?

Regards,

Charles
