What sort of partitioning setup do you have?

Is that your only hard drive?
Its the only with the cables connected :) The other one is disconnected (both power and IDE cable). I also have a CDROM. /dev/hde is connected with a 80pin cable on a promise onboard controller (the one that comes with Asus A7A 133). /dev/cdrom is connected on the via controller.
Do you have an /etc/lvmtab?
Yes, i have, but its an empty file.
Empty, zero-byte file? What happens if you remove it?
[root@zeus etc]# ls -la lvmtab -rw-r----- 1 root root 1 Jan 2 21:41 lvmtab [root@zeus etc]# cat lvmtab [root@zeus etc]# Its not zero-byte, but its empty. Ive removed it (nothing happened) but i cant reboot the machine right now, i will post the results tomorrow. Thanks.
Yeo. Deleting that file made the messages disappear.
OK, apparently at one point vgscan made a weird lvmtab file. I don't think there's much the initscripts can do about this.
What is the history of that lvmtab file? Did you create and then delete any logical volumes? Or was this happening ever since you installed the system?
Just installed the system on an empty partiton and booted it. I didnt change the disks/partitions after the install.
This is the same issue as Bug #81168 which is under anaconda, fixed in CVS.
Thanks for spotting that, Josiah. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 81168 ***
