It's recommended you don't run vgscan at boot time - it wipes out your
configuration that's stored in files in /etc & replaces then with what
it find on the LVM disks. Which is ok if everything else is ok too. But
if your LVM system has a problem & you reboot, you've just dug yourself
a bigger hole by destroying the very data you need to rebuild/recover
the LVM. Take it out of /etc/rc.sysinit ( if psyche still has it in
there ) and have it just try to activate LVM to its last state:
action $"Setting up Logical Volume Management:"/sbin/vgchange -a
y
But I don't even think that's the orginal problem. You probably need to
recreate your initrd image with the LVM module included:
mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.18-17.7.x.img 2.4.18-17.7.x --with=lvm-mod
I'm working off enigma here, so don't take my examples literally.
