Description Sander Lepik 2011-05-14 14:04:19 CEST 
Description of problem:
When root is on lvm then upgrading from mdv2010.2 breaks kernel line in menu.lst file.

Example:

root=/dev/lvm/whatever -> root=/dev

For some reason everything after /dev is missing.

After fixing it manually and updating kernel on Mageia everything works OK. So the problem occurs only when upgrading.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
So long has happened on two computers that had lvm partitions (read: every time when tested).

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Weird, i can't repeat it on Virtualbox. Everything seems to work fine there. Tho' i used dual iso for testing. But that shouldn't affect much.
Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2011-05-17 23:02:35 CEST 
It may have been caused and fixed by the same bug as in
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1041

No, I say there that I fixed a bug in Cooker making it work for me, but I don't know why it happened on his 2010.0.

Given that lvm detection had been partially broken in Cauldron recently, it may have been fixed by the lvm fix (Bug 1041).

Can  please test again using RC ?

I can't reproduce it on RC either. Marking resolved for now.
