Describe the bug
I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB RAM. It has a Pimoroni Dual NVMe HAT fitted with 2, 2GB SSDs
The boot and root fs are on the first SSD, a third partition spans both drives using LVM
I upgraded to kernel 6.18.29 last night and rebooted. The boot failed when attempting to mount the LVM partition. No login shell or remote shell are available.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
Update to kernel 6.18.29
Reboot via NVMe SSD
Poweroff
Reboot using SD Card with a 6.12.75 kernel
Format boot and rootfs
Repopulate boot and rootfs using rsync -vaxHAX excluding contents of inappropriate directories (eg. dev/, run/, sys/*, etc)
Update cmdline.txt and fstab
Poweroff
Remove SD card
Reboot via NVMe SSD
apt update && apt upgrade to upgrade kernel to 6.18.29
Reboot
Cry
