OK. I notice this when I build the init thingy with dracut: root@fireball / # dracut -H -f /boot/init-thingy E: Dracut module "lvm" cannot be found. E: Dracut module "lvm" cannot be found. I: *** Including module: dash *** I: *** Including module: udev-rules *** I: Skipping udev rule: 50-udev.rules I: Skipping udev rule: 95-late.rules I: *** Including module: base *** I: *** Including module: fs-lib *** I: *** Including module: shutdown *** I: Skipping program kexec as it cannot be found and is flagged to be optional I: *** Including modules done *** I: Wrote /boot/init-thingy: I: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2406253 Apr 3 00:03 /boot/init-thingy root@fireball / # So, it is not able to find the lvm module and honestly, I didn't know there was one. Anyway, I googled and only found one reference on this and it has no fix for it. So, if I put /usr on lvm, how is dracut going to be able to find /usr? This is my current versions: root@fireball / # emerge -vp dracut lvm2 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I'm note sure what is broke now. If the init thingy is working, then I guess the new kernel is messing up lvm. Speaking of, I have to boot with my old kernel for lvm to work. It won't work with the kernel I built for the init thingy. I'm thinking there is a conflict somewhere. I just don't know where. Based on the fact the new kernel breaks whether I use a init thingy or not, I'm thinking kernel this time. Ideas? Thoughts? Making sense yet? Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
