Hi, Gentoo. My new(ish) amd64 system has two 1TB HDDs in a (software) RAID1, and practically the entire system is under an LVM2.
I rather unwisely made this addition to the startup stuff: ls -s /usr/bin/svscanboot /etc/init.d/ rc-update add svscanboot default , and now the box hangs during boot up. On the same box, I also have a "trial" installation which boots and I still have the installation CD from about a year ago. Would somebody please help me get into my system sufficiently to correct my mistake on the boot scripts. Pointing me in the direction of a fine manual section would be regarded as help. I feel Dale's reservations in a most painful fashion. Thanks in advance for the help. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
