Description of problem: This is an interaction issue between lvm2, dracut and possibly kernel-desktop-latest. When I have the lvm2 rpm installed but not activated, and then I install a kernel-desktop-latest rpm, the resulting dracut will not boot and gives me an error that says /dev/lvm-host-only not found It appears that with lvm2 installed, dracut will include the lvm modules but if lvm has not been activated the boot will fail. The workaround is not too bad once you know what is going on, but it took me several weeks to figure out what was going on. Marking as critical since it leaves Mageia in an unbootable state. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This started happening in late Novemeber 2013 How reproducible: Consistent Steps to Reproduce: 1. On a machine without lvm2 active install the 2. Install a kernel-desktop-latest rpm 3. Reboot 4. Watch it fail 5. To make this work, you have to uninstall lvm2 and then regenerate the initrd Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Tested with kernel-tmb-desktop and kernel-desktop586 it worked.

This is very old. I cannot reproduce in Mageia 5 with lvm2-2.02.111-6.mga5 and kernel-desktop-devel-4.1.13-2.mga5-1-1.mga5.
