All,

I have a small problem that's I've been beating my head against for two 
days.

I've installed debian onto an sdcard according to [1].  This required a 
new U-boot [2].  For grins, I chose encrypted LVM.  It works fine with 
the 2.6.33.3flipflip kernel [3].  However, I'm trying to get 2.6.37 
vanilla to work.

I think I'm almost there except that lvm2 segfaults every time right 
after I enter the password.  So, I jumped into initramfs and ran 'lvm 
pvscan -v -v -v -v' for both kernels.  Here's the output:

/dev/dm-0 is the decrypted device containing the LVM.

### Versions ###########################################################
(initramfs) lvm version
   LVM version:     2.02.66(2) (2010-05-20)
   Library version: 1.02.48 (2010-05-20)
   Driver version:  4.17.0

########################################################################

Based on a Gentoo bug [4] and a Debian bug [5], I'm not the first to 
encounter this.  I have tried all combinations of 
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2, without luck. 
I've also tried --sysinit and --ignorelockingfailure with similar results.

Tracing the lvm2 code, it looks like the segfault may lie in 
lib/label/label.c:107 _find_labeller().  Probably after line 120, 
dev_read() and before line 160, log_very_verbose()...

As I'm fairly new to embedded debian, what's the easiest path to fix 
this?  I'm running out of ideas.  I'd _really_ prefer to keep 2.6.37, 
it's a bragging rights thing...  ;-)

Does anyone know where exactly the error is coming from?  Is there a 
missing sysfs entry?  My desktop (Ubuntu 10.04) runs 2.6.37 fine, but 
with an older lvm2 (2.02.54(1), lib 1.02.39, driver 4.18.0).  Getting a 
coredump out of the initrd is proving difficult...

thanks for any input,

Jason.
