Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devices
This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.
Apparently, compatibility is in the eye of the beholder - in this
case, LVM.
Compile in SCSI disk support. Modular even if loaded in initrd it seems to have broken somewhere.
Setting CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y does not help. The problem persists.
# CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set I would suspect this.
Setting CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y does indeed fix the problem and allows me to boot successfully. Pity, I was so happy getting rid of that a couple of releases ago.
Try to upgrade to at least lvm 2.02.29 (I guess this is the first version which understands the new sysfs layout).
I'll have to investigate how to do that without breaking anything. HTH T. -- Tilman Schmidt E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bonn, Germany Diese Nachricht besteht zu 100% aus wiederverwerteten Bits. Ungeöffnet mindestens haltbar bis: (siehe Rückseite)
