I thought so too, but the fact that it only happens when I try to enable LVM at bootup makes me think its not. I had a Debian mirror on this drive prior to this, and it never gave me errors, and if I boot without LVM and enable it after boot by hand, I don't get these errors. I'm suspecting its some interaction with devfs, which is why I came here. > > followed by two > > > > modprobe: Can't locate module /dev/vg01 > > I get a series of "Can't locate module /dev/vg01/ errors. > > Maybe you need the following lines in your /etc/modules.conf: > > alias block-major-58 lvm-mod > alias char-major-109 lvm-mod I compiled it into the kernel rather than modular. But I added these to modules.conf anyway. No change. -- --Brad ============================================================================ Bradley M.
