I've tested the provided packages, the original ones as well as those
that recently migrated to squeeze and still run into this bug. I agree
that we all might run into different bugs and am unsure what exactly is
causing it for me.

Short description:
------------------

My Thinkpad T60 SATA controller can be configured to operate in two
modes, "AHCI" and "Compatible". I have been using it in "Compatible"
mode ever since, but when I switch to "AHCI" I get the following error:

--- snip ---
Unable to find LVM volume name_of_lvm/swap
cryptsetup: lvm device name (/dev/disk/by-uuid/...) does not begin with
/dev/mapper
cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available
--- snip ---

kind regards
