Any ideas? Looks like you still use initrd-tools which will not work for kernel version =2.6.17 since it uses devfs which is depricated i think since 2.6 and was now removed. you can either use initramfs-tools or yaird yours Albert - -- Albert Dengg [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFE7CEDhrtSwvbWj0kRAuqwAJ0Wxxy99zjMqfkjAyKYJCGyQrOZzACfRrkv 5JkI3sXvaweNruLF58IMyg8= =g4dC -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I've never used LVM, but I think that, if you've defined your volumes in terms of devfs, you'll have to re-define them. Alright, that makes sense. I installed and defined my LVM set during the installation of Debian, after which I used the supplied 2.6.8-2 kernel (which had devfs support) and everything booted up fine. Now that I tried to recompile to 2.6.17.9 (without devfs) and not changing anything else in particular, I got the problem above. I'm gonna keep tinkering with it, however I will probably move back to the old kernel as it is right now... got a tight deadline so the solution will have to wait until I got more time :-) Thanks! -- Kim Christensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
