Description Cristi 2006-08-13 06:25:17 UTC

after upgrading from baselayout-1.11 to baselayout 1.12.4-r2, my system doesn't boot correctly (is unusable).

Info: I'm having some raid partitions (type=fd),  with LVM over them and then some logical volumes; plus some lvm partitions on normal ide disks and on SATA ones.

"High-level" problem is that i get with many directories unmounted - including /home :-( Geting deeper to the real cause, it seems it's because the part that should try to mount various filesystems, using RC_VOLUME_ORDER is run *before* the necessary modules are loaded into the kernel (2.16.7), via modules.autoload/kernel-2.6. Which seems to me bogus.
Btw, during modules "autoload" I'm getting also a SATA driver module loaded which then has some LVM partitions too...

During my short dig into this problem I also found other things (bugs) and have some suggestions too - please check http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3509264.html
