For some reasons I good the word zoom in here :-( Ah, well if all the messages say cont it's probably not a metadata problem. Is dm-mod actually getting loaded?

Without /usr portage isn't going to work, so any kernel/dm/lvm changes will have to be without portage -- and might leave a little bit of cruft on your system. If you are fine with that... quickpkg or buildpkg dm/lvm on another computer (mkae sure you CFLAGS are appropriately generic), copy over, and just install with tar. Or build a different kernel, copy over to boot, modify grub/re-run lilo and go. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpWueb9wbHz3.pgp Description: PGP signature

Oh, BTW, if it /is/ a dm/kernel conflict, and you have LVM statically linked, you'll have to recompile it *after* you've changed to a dm supported by your kernel (if you change you kernel, but not your dm, this won't apply). Otherwise, it won't use your new dm version.

Re: [gentoo-user] LVM2 Problems
I've never seen this issue, so I may not be the right person to give advice here. But at a glance, it looks like lvm and device-mapper are incompatible or something similar. If I were in your place I would try differrent versions of lvm2, device-mapper and/or kernel. FYI, my configuration works with kernel 2.6.16-r1, device-mapper 1.02.03 and lvm2 2.02.05.
