This particular error occured on my machine with baselayout-1.11.12-r2 and therefore I file a bugreport against baselayout at bugs.gentoo.org #94120. After that I found two threads here regarding new baselayout versions and changes in lvm2 handling so Ishowed up here with the issue. May be some other thing is puzzled here (2005.0 multilib on ~amd64) but I did not found out yet where to search further.

We're turning off all of the volume management in the initrd by default. This means all of them (dmraid, evms, lvm2) will be available, but not enabled. You will be required to do* if you want them on, since they caused problems for some people, much as how doscsi is not enabled by default. I'm also working on making a nice little document of all the do* no* commands available on the releases, so troubleshooting should be a bit easier for us all. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead/QA Manager Games - Developer Gentoo Linux signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
[gentoo-dev] GNAP 1.7 Release (Gentoo Network APpliance)
GNAP 1.7 is out ! GNAP is a Gentoo-based Network Appliance building system. It allows to build LiveCDs or bootable disks with a customized network appliance configuration in seconds. This is especially useful to quickly install Gentoo on small-CPU hosts to use them as routers, firewalls, VPN boxen... Starting points : http://embedded.gentoo.org/gnap.xml http://embedded.gentoo.org/gnap-userguide.xml This version includes two major new features. R/W overlay It is now possible to specify the name of a partition from which to overlay files at boot-time, allowing to write configuration changes back to a floppy or a specific CF partition for example. Easier extensibility Add new functionality to GNAP used to force you to rebuild a complete new core, which took both time and effort. The new extension system in gnap_make allows you to build extensions without building a new core, and the new gnap_remaster tool helps you to add extensions to existing core files. So emerge gnap and play ! Ask me on IRC for any questions you may have. For bugs/patches/enhancement requests, use the Bugzilla Embedded component and assign bugs to me. Thank you. -- Thierry Carrez (Koon) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Agreed. personally i think 'bzip2' is a bit more logical ... what do others think we should use ? just stick with bzlib since it's what we've had it for a while now ? I'd say always try to make things more logical. Besides, there are only a few packages using the bzlib flag. I did however find quite a few that did an unconditional --with-bzlib as well as one (dev-util/gambas) that uses bzlib2, which I can't find anywhere.

Just curious, but what did you do to do this? I'm going to guess there's some boot-time option to mount a unionfs, no? Is this something we can extend to genkernel to allow us to have configurable LiveCD releases, or is it something that is GNAP-specific? Oh no. I just found out about unionfs very recently, thanks to solar. The current implementation is completely manual (and asynchronous) : the contents of the partition is overlaid over the live filesystem at boot, and you can remount the partition later on to save modified files. The idea is to backup some /etc and /var things that you want to keep over a reboot. What is GNAP-specific, though, is the idea to add a tarball to a LiveCD and have an init script overlay files over the filesystem at boot. This allows user-level customization of the LiveCD configuration files in seconds. The R/W overlay feature is just there to avoid burning a new LiveCD whenever you change a conf file. -- Koon -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
