From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514 Description of problem: I installed FC3 and all updates on a system with nforce2 chipset and 2 (two) disk 80GB each. I used LVM and created a logical volume of 100 GB. Later I add two (2) disks of 200GB each, one PATA and one SATA. The motherboard is an MSI W6570 which has an extra promise controller for SATA. I disabled raid, and used it as SATA controller only. I added the space to the VG and resize the filesystem correctly. So far so good. All these have been done without any trickery to services etc of the the verbatim FC3 system. Then I decided to use only level 3. Upon reboot the VG and the logical volume with the /home filesystem vanished. Re-enabling level 5 and reboot and all is ok. Also the same happens if I remove the rhgb option on the boot in the grub. What is the neccessary module that makes the lvm work in level 5 and not in level 3? I have already checked and have the same services run in both runlevels. So something else must be the culprit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set runlevel=3 or remove rhgb from boot line 2. 3. Actual Results: The system does not boot. It enter either in maintenance mode or reboot. Expected Results: the system should boot mounting correctly the lvm either in runlevel=3 or 5.
