my /init script is running now, but I got '/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off' error. I google a lot, and I think it would relate with my HD. When this error occurs, I got a simple shell. I tried 'lvm vgscan' in that shell, and it cannot find my lvm. I copied my block devices with: cp -a /dev/hda /usr/src/initramfs/dev cp -a /dev/hda1 /usr/src/initramfs/dev cp -a /dev/hda2 /usr/src/initramfs/dev
what I missed?
