hi,
I was following this guide in order to set up a pure lvm2 system
[HOWTO] lvm2 for root, swap and software suspend2 (edit) at this link
forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-480995.html. The initrd works out fine and boots the kernel up to the point where is trying to mount stuff and I get this message:
Quote:

And also because inserting swap into lvm I cannot set swap signature with fdisk, but swap is created regardless like this:
Quote:
mkswap /dev/kewl/swap
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 511700 kB
no label, UUID=(long number)

I am running Gentoo by the way. If someone has a clue I would appreciate it greatly :-)
thanks
