Hi, I am new to EVMS and this list. I have gone over the archives and read relevant posts. Here is my situation: I built gentoo 2005.1, followed the Gentoo and EVMS installation guides ( used the gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_setup_evms). I used genkernel --evms to build the kernel and initramfs. The kernel and initramfs are the parameters used in grub.conf, so grub.conf looks like: title Gentoo ... kernel /kernel-....-r10 root=/dev/ram0 realroot=/dev/evms/root init=/linuxrc udev doevms2 initrd /initramfs...-r10 where the gentoo version is 2.6.12 r10. I did the layout almost exactly like the EVMS HOWTO with /, /boot, and swap. /boot is ext3 raid1, swap is raid0, and / is reiserfs raid1. my fstab has /dev/evms/boot /boot ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/evms/root / reiserfs noatime,notail 0 1 /dev/evms/swap none swap sw 0 0 I changed the /etc/init.d/checkroot script as suggested by the HOWTO. I changed the device_size_prompt value to "no" in the /etc/grub.conf file in the lvm2 section. Upon boot, I get device_size_prompt message saying I should check the device_size_prompt value and set to no if it is a raid device. I then get: >> Determining root device... !! Block device /dev/evms/root is not a valid root device... !! The root block device is unspecified or not detected. When I then go into a shell, it appears that evms_activate has executed. The /dev/evms directory is there but only has swap and dm. I am not sure what I have wrong here, so any help is much appreciated. Wayne |
