Public bug reported:

Using 10.04 Desktop - Beta 1, with all updates for Beta 2?

I am unsure how to capture the proper information, problem happens at
bootup. I can go to a command prompt. I'm not sure if the problem is
with HAL, or with LVM.

Computer: Laptop, 2 HDs
HD 1 = PQI, SATA Digital 32 GB HD
HD 2 = Toshiba, SATA 5400 320gb? HD

I'm using LVM (LVM2?) 
HD 1 partitions = root (ext4), swap, boot (ext4), windows (Vista)
HD 2 partitions = tmp(ext4), vmachines(ext4), home (ext4)

When cold booting for the first, a partition, random, from HD 2 is not
mountable. It could be tmp, vmachines, or home. Its random. I get the
message S-Skip or M-Manual. I've tried skipping on vmachines because it
is unnecessary, but it does not continue to boot.

When I go into manual, I run an lvscan to see if it is active. All
partitions are active. The one partition that is not mountable is not
available. I do an "ls /dev/toshiba1" and two of the three partitions
are listed. When I try to execute an "lvchange -ya
/dev/mapper/toshiba1-'unmountable partition' ", it tells me it is
unavailable.

I'm not sure what to do from there. I do a warm-reboot (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
and usually after 1-3 warm reboots, it finally boots into a desktop/user
login.
