Hi! I had some problems with lvm at startup, too. The scsi driver created the directories /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/targetNN/lun0, but not the entry disc in it. This works now, but is ugly: modprobe -k aic7xxx mknod /dev/sda b 8 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 modprobe -k lvm-mod vgscan vgchange -a y Any better ideas? R.E.Beer
