Hmm, more interesting. Sounds like you don't have lvm2 (sys-fs/lvm2) installed. Genkernel pulls it= 's=20 own version in to build the initrd/ramfs, but the actual install will need = it=20 merged separately to "start" LVM at boot. If you get Gentoo booted you could try manually "starting" LVM: vgscan pvscan vgchange -ay It's vgchange -ay that makes all logical volumes in all volume groups=20 available, the two scans just makes sure device mapper is aware of all=20 devices and volumes. =2D-=20 Mike Williams -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
