Comment 99 for bug 527666

With the change to fix de ownership issue of DM device nodes, things seemed to be working, but then I started having problems again today even with mains power. I second Thierry Carrez that the boot fails about half the time. In fact the things have become worse, because sometimes pressing M for manual recovery does not work and the only way to get the system to boot is to reboot over and over again to get a working session.

As far as I can gather Lucid boot process is failing completely for many people that have multiple filesystems on LVM. I've been using Ubuntu since with LVM since 7.04, and all the upgrades up to 9.10 worked without problems. Judging by the comments of other the problem is not limited to upgrades either, This bug really seems to be a show-stopper, because a system that was working perfectly, does not even get to a login prompt with Lucid.

I will be glad to help to identify a solution, but I do not know how.
