[mythtv-users] 2.6.3-7 sds kernel and LVM2 for mythtv

[Graham W. Mitchell]

I kinda had this issue too.... The problem is that the md devices aren't
starting.... I had to do this to my rc.sysinit - it's not a proper
solution, merely a hack to get my machine to work and boot up.....

update_boot_stage RCraid
if [ -f /etc/raidtab ]; then
    # Add raid devices 
    # gwm hack
    modprobe raid5
    raidstart --all
    # gwm end
    # gwm hack
    [ -f /proc/mdstat ] || modprobe md >/dev/null 2>&1

Hello all,

I've been using the recommended kernel-sds 2.6.3-7 kernel with built-in 
ivtv modules.

Now i'm trying to install lvm2 to get two 200GB drives to work as one 
for mythtv.
So I installed lvm2, but when the system reboot's it does not go beyond 
the vgscan section of the boot-process.
I have to go into single-user mode to disable the lvm section in the 
rc.sysinit file. Then the system boots up fine again. I've tried the 
approaches on: 
<http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&forumid=47&th
readid=185074>

But to no avail...

Also, a vgscan command run from the console just sits there. Nothing
else.

Anyone know a possible plan of attack?

Thanks,
Mark
