After update I invoked manually grub2-install and grub2-mkconfig.

Comment 3 Joseph Wang 2016-05-28 11:08:37 CEST 
It's the disk cache patch that is causing problems.  Somehow the patch breaks btrfs and lvm.

Please try to see ASAP if the patch can be reverted or fixed, this is a blocker for 6sta1.

Yes - I will push update without the patch to release now.

My mistake - I pushed later changes not realizing that the patched version was only pushed to updates_testing previously.

Comment 7 Barry Jackson 2016-05-28 16:21:52 CEST 
Maybe a good thing that it was pushed in error as that way we got a wider test audience and found this side effect ;)

I have the similar problem with btrfs on lvm, but in my case it cannot even show grub menu: https://ml.mageia.org/l/arc/dev/2016-05/msg00410.html
Though, it may be caused by the encrypted lvm.

Closing as that patch was removed
