Dear all,

First, I apologize por my poor english...

Since I've tried to boot 2.6.32.x kernel, my system hangs during the
boot process, and I think it could be related to the problem reported
earlier by Megastorage (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/1/10/92).

The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 which runs fine with the
2.6.31.x kernel series (actually running with the latest 2.6.31.11),
and the system is debian etch.

Here is the trace of the bug I've got (using netconsole) with a
2.6.32.3 kernel :

another trace with same behavior on a new compiled kernel with more
debug options;
but I can't see any difference :

I think the problem should be related with lvm or device mapper because
I could start perfectly a 2.6.32.2 kernel on another PowerEdge 2950
without any kind of lvm or dm configured...
but I'm really not expert with kernel debug.

Here is the fstab of the buggy system :

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/dm-4 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/dm-1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/dm-7 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/dm-5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/dm-6 /var ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/dm-2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs noauto 0 0

I hope it can help, and try to give us more informations if necessary.

François.
