Thank you for your answer, but no luck, I did not managed not to have the error. So I try a reinstall rebuilding the VLM completely, and the error did not go away. So, I reinstalled again, without LVM and then it was OK. I wont have time to check again for the solution to the error as I have to give back the machine. Too bad, because I did not learn from this one. Thank you again. Thierry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
