Hi group, Going through a rough patch after a world update. The SD card on my netbook doesn't get mounted, ext2 filesytem not found etc. I've had this problem before which I traced to the lack of support for SD cards in the kernel. This time it's something else. Nothing wrong with the fs, it can be checked and mounted manually. Device-mapper is not in the world file but does exist in /etc/init.d and can be started and stopped OK. When I use it I get messages in the boot console of being incompatible with my baselayout-1.
So, I try to unmerge it, but of course portage claims I don't have it. And if I try to emerge it, the new version is blocked by the version I'm supposed ot have?! In an earlier post 'device-mapper', somebody suggested installing lvm2 and not using device-mapper but this doesn't work for me -- assuming my problem has anything to do with device-mapper. Maxim
