My problem is LV not being activated on booting so all devices such
/dev/vg/usr, home, opt, etc. can't not been mounted. At time of
installation ;
# vgchange -a y
must be run to activate LV.
I'm now looking around where ("/rc.d/" ?) I have to add this command.
I tried creating /tmp/newroot, /tmp/newroot/mnt, etc.in anticipating
mounting LV. But found it did not work.
Actually Gentoo started but the above devices unable to mount making
some files can't be found. Other problem are of minor matters.
In the past I have been playing around on FC5 and Ubuntu 6.06
partitioning HD with LVM on command lines but never work. I was
compelled using GUI to get it done. Then it worked without problem. I
don't know its reason.
