I just did the same thing (installed 2005.0 w/ lvm2) ... Here's how I got it to work:
1) vgchange -a n (deactive all the volumes) 2) vgexport -a vg (export all the volumes) 3) vgimport -a vg (import all the volumes into the existing system) 4) vgchange -a y (reactive all the volumes) This should do it for you... -Hani -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
