procfs must be mounted, and /etc must be rw. i have it as:


# Remount the root filesystem read-write.
action "Remounting root filesystem in read-write mode" mount -n -o remount,rw /

## LVM
#scan for VGs and create /dev entries.
if [ -x /sbin/vgscan -a -f /proc/lvm ]; then
       action "LVM: Scanning for Volume Groups" /sbin/vgscan
fi
#activate all VGs
if [ -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /proc/lvm ]; then
       action "LVM: Activating Volume Groups" /sbin/vgchange -ay
fi
## End LVM

Hi.

Another way is to do it from conf.modules:

alias block-major-58      lvm-mod
alias char-major-109      lvm-mod
post-install lvm-mod vgscan && vgchange -a y

It saves checking that lvm got loaded.
