lvm rootdisk not found[solved]

erm im not sure what ive done, everything i check leads me to belive it should work, but it cant find my root fs

MODULES=""

BINARIES=""

FILES=""

HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata filesystems lvm2"

MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
MODULES=(powernow-k8 cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_powersave cpufreq_ondemand)

USELVM="yes"

im used mkinitcpio -p kernel26 from a chroot then copying over /boot to real /boot to generate these.

i also tried
HOOKS="base udev sata lvm2 filesystems"

what am i doing wrong?

Re: lvm rootdisk not found[solved]

Is LVM enabled in your rc.conf?

USELVM="yes"

Go through this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lvm#Important

Re: lvm rootdisk not found[solved]

in which way does it fails ?
- what is (are) the error message(s) ?
- do you have a kernel panic or do you come to a recovery shell ?
- if you come to a recovery shell, is your root partition there (in /dev) ?

take time to daydream, inspiration comes ...

Re: lvm rootdisk not found[solved]

Managed to get it working, turns out that i haden't tried pata, in the correct order. i needed "base udev pata lvm2 <b>then</b>filesystems" not sure why i thought it was a sata drive other than it being sda :s thx for the help
