LVM2 links at runtime, through readline, and ncurses, to gpm. Now, everything is in /lib (so who has /usr on LVM can boot) except gpm libraries. IMHO, it does not make sense to have a library in /lib depending on something in /usr/lib. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE=gpm emerge ncurses 2. have system with /usr on LVM2 3. Actual Results: LVM2 couldn't start for missing libraries. Emerging ncurses without gpm USE flag fixes this, if you can get that far luckily I still have Mandrake on my HD - it's the only one which never breaks. Otherwise there are luckily rescue CDs. Both Gentoo and especially Fedora 2 do break sometimes.
