OK. To update: it would seem that for whatever reason, devfs _is_ being mounted (cat /proc/mounts shows devfs on /dev and .devfsd is in /dev) but there are no device nodes under /dev/ide/host0/bus[01]/target0/. Strange. But that explains why vgscan could not find the VG. The ide devices are seen by the kernel. /proc/ide/hd?/model shows the disk and CD R/W devices. /proc/partitions is empty however. Very strange. I will have to dig in and figure out why this is. All and any theories are welcome. :-) But the long and short of my problem is that it's not an LVM problem. Not directly anyway. b. -- Brian J.
