After setting these modules (ehci-hcd ohci-hcd uhci-hcd usb-ohci usb-uhci piix reiserfs) (piix and reiserfs were already listed) in INITRD_MODULES I still have LVM load first.
Did you run a mkintrd and lilo/grub afterwards? (I don't know if YaST does this automagically or not).
Added usb-storage and usbcore (Yast does run mkinitrd), and still have the same thing happening. Seeing as how the drive was empty, I dumped LVM from it and ran with standard reiserfs partitions, and also changed them to ext2 to see if there was any change. No change! I also tried a firewire interface. Didn't matter whether usb or firewire the problems remained the same. If I established more than 1 partition on the drive reiserfsck or fsck was not able to find the second partition. If I established ANY mount point the fs had difficulty finding it and threw a fit, because the external usb/firewire drive is set to automount to /media/usbdisk or /media/ieee1394disk. If I set up an LVM partition on the disk all was okay on boot. When I set up a Volume group and associated it with the physical LVM partition and then rebooted, the Volume Group would disappear. I guess I could set up an LVM Volume Group, associate it with the LVM partitions, then setup multiple logical volumes and mount points, but the moment I have a power out or have to reboot for any reason, it'll all be toast. Any assistance in establishing multiple partitions, multiple mount points, and LVM on an external USB/Firewire harddrive would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! Bernd
