Description Simple 2012-05-15 01:14:37 CEST

I did lost grub and i inserted the DVD and select rescue, then i selected to restore bootloader and it fails with the error message saying could not recognize root.

Then i selected to mount partitions under /mnt and again failed with error message saying could not recognize root.

In the part about mounting partitions under /mnt it should ask for the password of the encrypted LVM.

see bug 5857

rescue mount partitions option should allow for the lvm2 commands listed there...

The comment you made in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5857 would be more proper to be done here, since in the other bug is about the problems that occur in grub (menu.lst), being through `drakboot --boot` or when a new kernel flavour is installed.
Maybe is better to change the bug report title...

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
