Thanks, there is an undocumented switch "nolvm2" to turn off volume group scan. Got it all working now. I'm not yet building the final kernel. Is there a way to build an initrd with genkernel (and I'd need to integrate a module wich is outside the kernel tree)? cheers Paul -- [email protected] mailing list
