After having updated my system it was no longer able to fully boot. Long story short: the partitions located inside a crypted LVM-setup weren't mountable within the running system. The root-partition (also located there) was already mounted by the initramfs, the other partitions failed because there is no entry within /dev/mapper. Since Kernel, initramfs, udev etc. weren't the problem, I reemerged the older LVM2-version sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.56-r3 and the system booted normally. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup system with LVM-volumes inside a crypted partition 2. emerge sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.63-r1 3. reboot Actual Results: 4. fail ;-) Expected Results: 4. boot and mount all partitions mentioned in /etc/fstab meyerm@yavin ~ $ emerge --info Portage 2.1.8.3 (hardened/linux/amd64/10.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.3.4-hardenednopie, glibc-2.11-r1, 2.6.33-gentoo-r1 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r1-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_Duo_CPU_P9600_@_2.66GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.1 Timestamp of tree: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 11:15:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p5 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.10 dev-lang/python: 2.6.5-r1, 3.1.2-r2 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.1 sys-apps/openrc: 0.6.1-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.65 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r4, 1.9.6-r3, 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.20.1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.3.4 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.2.6b virtual/os-headers: 2.6.33 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="*" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -msse3 -mfpmath=sse -pipe -ggdb" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/spool/torque" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/postgresql /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/language.dat.d /etc/texmf/language.def.d /etc/texmf/updmap.d /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native -msse3 -mfpmath=sse -pipe -ggdb" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests distlocks fixpackages news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms splitdebug strict unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://de-mirror.org/distro/gentoo/ ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="de en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/sunrise /var/lib/layman/kde /var/lib/layman/xen /var/lib/layman/d /var/lib/layman/science /usr/local/portage/local-overlay" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl acpi adns alsa amd64 bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups curl cxx dbus dirac dri dv dvb dvd dvdr encode exif fam ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm geoip gif gimp gnutls gphoto2 gpm gps hal hardened iconv idn ieee1394 imagemagick ipv6 java jpeg jpeg2k justify kde ladspa lame latex ldap lm_sensors lzma lzo mad maildir matroska mmap mmx mng modules mp3 mpeg mpi mplayer mtp mudflap musicbrainz mysql ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg openal opengl openmp oscar pam pcre pdf perl pic plasma png policykit portaudio postgres ppds pppd python qt4 readline reflection samba scanner schroedinger sdl semantic-desktop session sndfile speex spell spl sqlite sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl startup-notification subversion svg sysfs syslog taglib tcpd theora threads timidity truetype unicode urandom usb v4l2 vim-syntax vnc vorbis x264 xattr xcomposite xine xinerama xml xorg xvid zlib zsh-completion" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CAMERAS="canon casio_qv ptp ptp2" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="arm i386 x86_64" QEMU_USER_TARGETS="arm i386 x86_64 " RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" SANE_BACKENDS="hp" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="intel psb sis sisusb vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Mh, looks like bug #316571 is handling the cause of the problem, even though it has other indications ;-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 316571 ***
