Hi group, Going through a rough patch after a world update. The SD card on my netbook doesn't get mounted, ext2 filesytem not found etc. I've had this problem before which I traced to the lack of support for SD cards in the kernel. This time it's something else. Nothing wrong with the fs, it can

There's your problem right there. Your device-mapper can't work with baselayout-1. So, your options: Upgrade to baselayout-2 and openrc. Done, following http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/openrc-migration.xml No joy. After '*Autoloaded 24 module(s)' in the boot console there's the bit '*lvm uses
