I just got that from:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_setup_evms
(I'll try to fix the HOWTO once I figure out how to setup my system)

Yeah, neither does mine. I was just referring to what the wiki HOWTO said.

I'm not sure what you mean by activated. I think this message results
from this code:

mount / -n -o remount,rw

which tries to remount root read-write. If you mean that root was
already mounted by the initrd, you are right.

Actually, "evms" is all I have in RC_VOLUME_ORDER in /etc/conf.d/rc


I'll try to remove the EVMS activation from checkroot now and see how
that works.



Thanks.
