Not so fast there Tex. This ain't over but the fat lady may be clearing her throat. Riddle me this Batman. I tried it without the -H. That was much better. No boo boos. But wait. This is me you know. ;-) When I boot, lvm fails to start. After it boots to a console and I login, I can restart lvm and it works fine. So, when I boot, the drive that is set up for lvm isn't working. It's not a big deal right now but it is about to be when /usr gets put on lvm. If I put /usr on lvm, Houston, we have a problem. May not boot right at all. At this point, this fails regardless of the kernel. I may try some older kernels in a bit tho. Also, it no longer matters if I use the init thingy either. It fails either way. Looks like the init thingy is working, until I break it anyway. Give me time. lol Canek, I know you don't use lvm so, anybody have any ideas? Maybe a new thread since this may not be init thingy related. Well, I rebooted and wrote down the errors then searched a bit. I found this: http://speeves.erikin.com/2012/01/root-your-box-and-mount-lvm-partitions.= html So, it seems that / needs to be mounted rw so that lvm can start. How do I fix this you reckon? Doesn't the init thingy do that or is that done after the init thingy is done? Dale :-) :-) --=20 I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words! Miss the compile output? Hint: EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=3D"--quiet-build=3Dn"
