Dracut does not add lvm executable to initrd due to missing udev rules. *** Including module: lvm *** Skipping udev rule: 11-dm-lvm.rules Skipping udev rule: 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules grep: /var/tmp/initramfs.DTXNPO/lib/udev/rules.d/69-dm-lvm-metad.rules: No such file or directory sed: can't read /var/tmp/initramfs.DTXNPO/lib/udev/rules.d/69-dm-lvm-metad.rules: No such file or directory This happens with sys-apps/systemd-212-r4 and sys-kernel/dracut-037. Obviously systemd fails to boot. Reproducible: Always

Are you sure you are not affected by bug 509454 ?

Not sure, I might be affected by that bug. I already understood that it is not lvm module problem. I will try to set that enviromental variable and recompile systemd. The problem is that no /dev/mapper entries are created at all. The error that I can see during the initrd phase is: device mapper reload ioctl on failed: Invalid argument So even cryptsetup luksOpen does not create /dev/mapper/unencrypted.

I am not sure what happens here but I am maybe also affected by one of these 2 bugs. The history of my searching is found in the gentoo-user-ml: eg. http://marc.info/?l=gentoo-user&m=139914682214472&w=2 I applied the patch mentioned here, right now I could boot .. though I am unsure what of the dozens of changes today helped in the end.
1. Make sure you have the last revision of systemd ebuild. 2. Set udevdir=/lib/udev in /usr/share/pkgconfig/udev.pc 3. If you changed udevdir at step 2, then reemerge systemd 4. If you have /rules.d/ dir, then reemerge corresponding packages: emerge -1av $(qfile -qCS /rules.d) 5. If you have /lib/rules.d/ dir, then reemerge corresponding packages: emerge -1av $(qfile -qCS /lib/rules.d)

(not sure if you replied to me or Andrius .. my system works right now) Thanks, Stefan
Created attachment 376306 [details] rdsosreport.txt I fixed path in step 2 but still no luck. I'm attaching dracut logs.
Created attachment 376308 [details] journalctl
(In reply to Andrius Štikonas from comment #8) > I fixed path in step 2 but still no luck. Hmm.. Check udevdir variable in /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/gentoo.conf and reemerge dracut if the path is incorrect. Also make sure that you reemerged systemd after fixing udev.pc and regenerated initramfs after all changes.

Apparently it can't create any devices. I get the following error: device-mapper: table 252:1 crypt: Device lookup failed. Failed to activate: Input/output error. If I execute cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 lvm it fails as well with similar error. I've also tried to mount /dev/sda2 as /boot but very strangely, this fails as well. It says: /dev/sda2 is already mounted as /boot or is busy.
Ok, I was finally able to boot into system. Not sure what exactly helped. Either I recompiled some more packages or switched back to dracut --hostonly. In the end, I suppose it is the dublicate of udev path bug, so I'm closing this. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 509454 ***
