I running debian/testing on a 32 bit server. The only thing is that I don't run 'dist-upgrade" regularly due to the amount of stuff that changes and breaks for no reason, usually at times I don't have time to deal with it. So, my udev was out of date for lvm2 and there was a missing package dependency on minimum version required. However, what I pasted above was with the latest udev version intesting, so there may be other missing dependencies or problems. I don't have systemd on that system, still regular init. I have sysvinit 2.88dsf-59.2 . Is that too old and causing issues too? Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
