Ah, well if all the messages say "cont" it's probably not a metadata |
| 10 |
problem. Is dm-mod actually getting loaded? Also, you may be able to use |
| 11 |
lvdisplay to determine the major/minor numbers of the block device you |
| 12 |
need to create and then create it by hand. That may or may not work. |

Without /usr portage isn't going to work, so any kernel/dm/lvm changes will |
| 22 |
have to be without portage -- and might leave a little bit of cruft on |
| 23 |
your system. |

If you are fine with that... quickpkg or buildpkg dm/lvm on another |
| 26 |
computer (mkae sure you CFLAGS are appropriately generic), copy over, and |
| 27 |
just install with tar. Or build a different kernel, copy over to boot, |
| 28 |
modify grub/re-run lilo and go. |
