Just make sure the evms package is installed before the initramfs is generated, and it should be fine (to the degree that what we have today is fine -- expect this to get better over the coming month or so). /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
