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 addon code which is deprecated' followed by '*Setting up the LVM...*Checking local filesystems...' /dev/sda1 passes but fsck.ext2 can't find /dev/sdb1,2 so /var and /home don't get mounted and the system is crippled, although I can still login and mount by hand. > device-mapper has moved into lvm2 (as lvm is the primary consumer > of device-mapper). If device-mapper is not installed according to > portage, and you have files left, then they are orphans left over > because of CONFIG_PROTECT and can be deleted. Then emerge lvm2 > I removed /etc/conf.d/device-mapper and /etc/init.d/device-mapper. I emerged lvm2 and lvm is 'started', according to '/etc/init.d/lvm status'. Question: Is there supposed to be an lvm2 in init.d? I just have lvm. IIRC in a thread from a few months ago there was a tip about putting the 'pause <secs>' command into a certain config file, which I can't recall. Or was it 'delay <secs>' or 'time <secs>' ? This was meant for the hardware to catch its breath so to speak and allow the system to find the SD card. This was about the same time I noticed that SD support was missing from the kernel. So maybe it was the the delay I added to that script, which may have disappeared in an etc-update session, and not the SD support after all. Grabbing straws here ;( mw
