ugh,
try modifying /sbin/mkinitrd
where it says
if [ -n "$lvmroot" ]; then
INITRDFILES="/sbin/vgchange /sbin/vgscan"
cp -aL /sbin/vgchange $MNTIMAGE/sbin
cp -aL /sbin/vgscan $MNTIMAGE/sbin
fi
change to
if [ -n "$lvmroot" ]; then
INITRDFILES="/sbin/vgchange /sbin/vgscan /sbin/lvmdiskscan"
cp -aL /sbin/vgchange $MNTIMAGE/sbin
cp -aL /sbin/vgscan $MNTIMAGE/sbin
cp -aL /sbin/lvmdiskscan $MNTIMAGE/sbin
fi
and where is:
if [ -n "$lvmroot" ]; then
echo "echo Configuring LVM" >> $RCFILE
echo "/sbin/vgscan" >> $RCFILE
echo "/sbin/vgchange -a y" >> $RCFILE
IMAGESIZE=$[IMAGESIZE + 4096]
fi
change to:
if [ -n "$lvmroot" ]; then
echo "echo Configuring LVM" >> $RCFILE
echo "/sbin/lvmdiskscan" >> $RCFILE
echo "/sbin/vgscan" >> $RCFILE
echo "/sbin/vgchange -a y" >> $RCFILE
IMAGESIZE=$[IMAGESIZE + 4096]
fi
then we compare output of lvmdiskscan run on your system
