The baselayout-1.11.9 update broke booting with (non-root) LVM volumes. When booting, checkfs complains that devices /dev/vgNN/NN (or whatever your VG/LV names are) cannot be found. Doing a vgchange -ay in the emergency shell prompt and Ctrl-D'ing lets the boot continue normally (sans file system checks, obviously). It seems the the new check for whether a vgscan+vgchange is needed doesn't quite work, i.e. by changing removing it the machine succesfully boots. This is the only change I did to get the machine booting happily again: --- checkfs 2005-01-31 15:17:01.707975696 +0100 +++ checkfs~ 2005-01-31 10:24:25.000000000 +0100 @@ -148,7 +148,8 @@ # NOTE: Add needed modules for LVM or RAID, etc # to /etc/modules.autoload if needed - if [[ -z ${CDBOOT} && -x /sbin/vgscan ]] + if [[ -z ${CDBOOT} && -x /sbin/vgscan ]] && \ + [[ -d /proc/lvm || -n $(grep -qo device-mapper /proc/misc) ]] then ebegin "Setting up the Logical Volume Manager" #still echo stderr for debugging
i assume the little patch you posted is reversed ?
Yeah, sorry 'bout that.:)
`emerge info` ? are you using 2.4 ?
Nope, using 2.6.10-ac11, but I'm fairly sure it's the test that's broken. Observe: Just to make sure it's there: biggles ~ # grep device-mapper /proc/misc 63 device-mapper The old test (rc-scripts-1.6.8), ignoring the first bit: biggles ~ # [[ $(grep device-mapper /proc/misc 2>/dev/null) ]]; echo $? 0 The new test (rc-scripts-1.6.9): biggles ~ # [[ -n $(grep -qo device-mapper /proc/misc) ]]; echo $? 1 (And all the surrounding stuff in the "full" test is basically the same in 1.6.8 and 1.6.9) Here's my emerge info just in case: biggles ~ # emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r15 (default-linux/amd64/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.10-ac11 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.10-ac11 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.9 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Sep 22 2004, 15:42:20)] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.9.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r4 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.inode.at/ http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/home/bardur/shared/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aalib acpi alsa arts berkdb bitmap-fonts ccache cdparanoia cdr crypt cups dvd dvdr dvdread emacs f77 fam flac font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gphoto2 gstreamer gtk gtk2 imagemagick imlib ipv6 jack jack-tmpfs java jikes jp2 jpeg junit kde libwww lzw lzw-tiff mad mikmod motif mozilla ncurses nls nptl nptlonly oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png python qt readline ruby sdl slang speex sqlite ssl tcpd theora tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts usb userlocales xine xml2 xosd xpm xrandr xv xvid zlib" Unset: ASFLAGS, CBUILD, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
err yeah, running [[ -n ]] + `grep -q` is stupid heh
fixed in 1.11.9-r1
