--- Comment #52 from Jimmy.Jazz@gmx.net ---
FYI, I need 2 patches for my initramfs to generate and IMO should not
interfere.

drivers/tty/vt/defkeymap.map to get the fr kbd mapping

I don't want to break T.Tso rules, but I remember, I have encountered a similar
issue when I initially tried partitionable array with major 9. At that time I
switched to major 254 as explain in comment 8 and the problem didn't come up
since... until the recent kernel 4.19 with mdadm 4.1 and kernel devtmpfs that
switched the metadevices to major 9. Also, why? A big mystery.

Now to the fact,
I was able to reboot in rescue mode, I use the world service to illustrate the
process. Nothing to do with Debian.

# service mdraid start
# service vg0 start
# cd /dev/mapper
# for i in *-*; do fsck /dev/mapper/$i; done
All clean except sys-scm (f  word)
the usb stick is clean too.
I need a terminal for interactive repairs so I write the beginning by hand.

ctrl-alt-del

I was able to reboot with init 1 from grub then init 4 from tty1 as root with
kernel 4.19.4. Filesystems were clean.

exit from tty1

log in again as normal user under X
su - root
next bisect in action

I must admit, it is time consuming.
