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) > In baselayout 1.12.5-r2, (thankfully that's the baselayout version I have) > the checkroot > script will already remount the root filesystem as rw if necessary, > and the /sbin/rc script will do a "start_addon evms" after starting > checkroot and modules, if evms appears in RC_VOLUME_ORDER in > /etc/conf.d/rc. > > > to /etc/init.d/checkroot > > and removed anything evms related from /etc/init.d/checkfs > > My checkfs doesn't have anything related to evms to begin with... Yeah, neither does mine.

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. > > 2.

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.
