init device error on boot about mkinitramfs-ll HOT 5 CLOSED

Your kernel cmdline seems to be at fault, so your kernel cmdline will be helpfull: cat /proc/cmdline. And note that a slash /' is a separator for detached headers! so you may be appending/dev/or a simply a slash/' to your PV(s). Take a look at the README file. I do not not remember if I tressed enough on that new /' slash separator: so/dev/' prefix may not be an option anymore.

New release fix the '/' slash separator issue: now the detached header sperator is a plus '+'.

issue closed, it should be a kernel cmdline issue: replaced that slash '/' separator that previously removed the optional '/dev/' prefix.

I double checked my config and it was correct as far as not including any "/". I will have to check out my cmdline today, it is probably the issue. I will post the solution when I find it. Thanks again.
