It was the debug stuff; every line that look like |
34 |
|
35 |
"dracut: + stuff here" |
36 |
|
37 |
was debugging information; AFAICT dracut mounted /dev/sda3 |
38 |
as root then it mounted the two other partitions it found. |

But this could be a problem (from your other email): |
41 |
|
42 |
root@fireball / # dracut -H -f /boot/init-thingy |

E: Dracut module "lvm" cannot be found. |

dracut couldn't find it's lvm module, even though your USE |
47 |
flags are set correctly. Can you try re-emerging dracut with |
48 |
its current USE flags? |
49 |
|
50 |
You should have a folder in /usr/lib/dracut/modules named |
51 |
'lvm' that has a 'module-setup.sh' script in it, plus |
52 |
probably some other support files, if everything got |
53 |
installed correctly. |
