Not so fast there Tex. This ain't over but the fat lady may be clearing |
34 |
her throat. Riddle me this Batman. I tried it without the -H. That |
35 |
was much better. No boo boos. But wait. This is me you know. ;-) |

When I boot, lvm fails to start. After it boots to a console and I |
38 |
login, I can restart lvm and |
39 |
it works fine. So, when I boot, the drive that is set up for lvm isn't |
40 |
working. It's not a big deal right now but it is about to be when /usr |
41 |
gets put on lvm. If I put /usr on lvm, Houston, we have a problem. May |
42 |
not boot right at all. |

At this point, this fails regardless of the kernel. I may try some |
45 |
older kernels in a bit tho. Also, it no longer matters if I use the |
46 |
init thingy either. It fails either way. Looks like the init thingy is |
47 |
working, until I break it anyway. Give me time. lol |

Canek, I know you don't use lvm so, anybody have any ideas? Maybe a new |
50 |
thread since this may not be init thingy related. |

Well, I rebooted and wrote down the errors then searched a bit. I found |
53 |
this: |

56 |
|
57 |
So, it seems that / needs to be mounted rw so that lvm can start. How |
58 |
do I fix this you reckon? Doesn't the init thingy do that or is that |
59 |
done after the init thingy is done? |
