[Mageia-dev] System doen't boot with LVM

[Olivier Thauvin]

So ok, I just update my freshly installed mga2 to cauldron using network
install (live upgrade don't work, it seems urpmi fail to find a way to
update the system w/o filesystem).

I have the exact same result: it don't boot.

Only my /home is encrypted.
