Patrick, I've verified my recreation of the problem. You can find working and non-working initrd images in http://weeksfamily.ca/lvmproblem/
There's also a package report showing the status of relevant packages. The only difference between the working and the non-working is the upgrade (well, downgrade- I built a non-working one first, then downgraded to a working one) from lvm-common 1.5.17 to 1.5.18 I built the initrd images by running: apt-get --reinstall install kernel-image-2.6.11-1-686, which I figure is the easiest way to build these things. I shall try this on another piece of equipment that also has an lvm root partition in the morning and let you know if the problem also exists there. Have fun and thanks for looking at this. -- Christian Weeks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
