In other words: "localmount" should run before "lvm"

"localmount" requires "lvm"

"lvm" should run after "localmount"
Line 1 and 3 do the same. Line 2 is a contradiction.

Yes (See above)

This should work.
I actually have a similar setup and did not need to add the lines to rc.conf.
All I did was do what I was told:
Add "lvm" to the "boot" runlevel.
Can you remove the lines from "rc.conf", ensure "lvm" is in the "boot"
runlevel (And not in any other, like "default") and then let us know if
you still get the error during reboot?
If it all goes by too fast, can you press "I" during boot to get
interactive and then let us know:
1) Which starts first, "lvm" or "localmount"
2) What error messages do you see for any of the services.
Kind regards,
