From: Maxim Wexler To: gentoo-user Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Archives-Salt: 8a71ef5a-d508-4b53-8f00-22017ac882d2 X-Archives-Hash: 25b131f886b2d28be504175006504dfc Hi group, Rather than resurrect an old thread though I'd start anew with a fresh clue. Seems if I add the commands: vgscan --mknodes vgchange -a y mount -a to /etc/conf.d/bootmisc and add it to the boot runlevel, the eee boots to a coherent system BUT not before going through LVM failure, errors, inability to find volumes etc through many console lines until just after the line: *Configuring kernel parameters... comes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... Found volume group "vg" using metadata type lvm2 5 logical volume(s) in volume group "vg" now active ... And everything is fine after that. So it looks like a question of timing, of executing bootmisc or something like it earlier, say just after loading dm-mod and dm-crypt and just before the line in the console: *Setting up the Logical Volume Manager... When it all starts to fall apart. FWIW I'm using baselayout-2. Maxim
