Ah, well if all the messages say "cont" it's probably not a metadata problem. Is dm-mod actually getting loaded? Also, you may be able to use lvdisplay to determine the major/minor numbers of the block device you need to create and then create it by hand. That may or may not work. > > Also, be /very/ careful with upgrading LVM / device-mapper. > > Sure ;-) > > Back to my last question.

Without /usr portage isn't going to work, so any kernel/dm/lvm changes will have to be without portage -- and might leave a little bit of cruft on your system. If you are fine with that... quickpkg or buildpkg dm/lvm on another computer (mkae sure you CFLAGS are appropriately generic), copy over, and just install with tar. Or build a different kernel, copy over to boot, modify grub/re-run lilo and go. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh
