An update to the problem: I finally reinstalled RH8 and made the following adjustments: -pulled / out of LVM and put in its own partition -increased both the size of / (5G) and /usr (15G) An 'everything' installation went fine this time with the only problem being it was trying to run kudzu on the first reboot and when it came up I had no mouse or keyboard so I rebooted and everything was fine after that and so I finished the Setup config and Linux went to the first login screen. Once logged in I went to a terminal window and ran pvdisplay and vgscan and received the exact same response as after the first installation: + /sbin/pvdisplay pvdisplay -- ERROR: "/etc/lvmtab" doesn't exist; please run vgscan + /sbin/vgscan vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded? So my question is what should I do to verify the state of LVM on the system? Regards, Gerry Reno __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
