Hi Covici, |
| 25 |

I experienced a similar issue to yours and I thought I'd post a workaround |
| 27 |
that worked for my situation. What I did was add 'debug' as a kernel line |
| 28 |
parameter so that the initramfs would drop me into a busybox commandline |
| 29 |
before mounting the root file system. I then went into /dev/vg/ and ran |
| 30 |
this command 'ln -sf /dev/dm-0 usr'. This changed the symbolic link from a |
| 31 |
relative to an absolute path and thus fixed it so the mount command would |
| 32 |
work correctly when called in the bootup script. I typed 'exit' to continue |
| 33 |
with the boot. |
