Sorry, mdev is not for you, it looks like udev is a mandatory dependancy for lvm2. I tried "emerge -pv lvm2" and it came back with... waltdnes@d530 ~ $ emerge -pv lvm2 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-fs/udev-151-r4" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - sys-fs/udev-9999::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword) /etc/portage/package.mask: I'll update my instructions to mention this. Thanks for your help. Even a negative result, i.e. knowing what doesn't work, is one more piece of information in my quest. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org>
