I have an interesting problem on my laptop: about 1 in 3 times during boot, the initrd fails to find the root file system, which is located on LVM. I'm quite sure that this started after upgrading to linux 3.5.0-1 Booting via EFI on Dell Latitude E6410, disks configured in AHCI mode, x86_64, using systemd. Root FS is not encrypted, but I'm using /etc/crypttab for other file systems Kernel command line: /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/larcvg-larc--root ro quiet Output during failed boot: No volume groups found [ ... waits some seconds ... ] ERROR: device '/dev/mapper/larcvg-larc--root' not found. Skipping fsck. ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/mapper/larcvg-larc--root'. You are being dropped to a recovery shell ... /dev/mapper is empty, but when I run 'lvm vgchange -a y' then all devices successfully appear. /etc/mkinitcpio.conf: MODULES="ahci ext4 dm-crypt aesni-intel" BINARIES="" FILES="" HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata lvm2 filesystems usbinput fsck" There aren't any obvious causes in dmesg output either. There are some differences in EFI stuff, SATA disks are discovered in a slightly different order and there's an additional message "spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7." during a successful boot.
