Great, why didn't you do that first if you know everything better?

Just like raid, lvm needs to scan all device. I think this is caused
when it try to open (fd0), and fails. The grub_errno is not cleared,
it's carried out and cause the rescue shell.

I just tried to get you to confirm this for me.
