My problem is LV not being activated on booting so all devices such /dev/vg/usr, home, opt, etc. can't not been mounted. At time of installation ; # vgchange -a y must be run to activate LV. I'm now looking around where ("/rc.d/" ?) I have to add this command. I tried creating /tmp/newroot, /tmp/newroot/mnt, etc.in anticipating mounting LV. But found it did not work. Actually Gentoo started but the above devices unable to mount making some files can't be found. Other problem are of minor matters. In the past I have been playing around on FC5 and Ubuntu 6.06 partitioning HD with LVM on command lines but never work. I was compelled using GUI to get it done. Then it worked without problem. I don't know its reason. B.R. SL -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
