LVM cannot run vgscan "vgscan -- LVM driver/module not

I built a gentoo system and installed lvm user tools and built a kernel with lvm support built in. I then booted the system with the new kernel and tried to run vgscan which is the first step and I always get the same error:

vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?

Here is the debug info:

<1> lvm_get_iop_version -- CALLED
<22> lvm_check_special -- CALLED
<22> lvm_check_special -- LEAVING
<1> lvm_get_iop_version -- AFTER ioctl ret: -102
<1> lvm_get_iop_version -- LEAVING with ret: -102
vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?

Can anyone here help?

when you do a "dmesg | grep -i lvm" does it show you lvm loading?

I have a root lvm setup right now with everything on LVM, and had no problems with vgscan.

please also double check if the LVM version of your tools matches your kernel ! There were quite some lvm changes in the past, so try to keep both current:

dmesg output: LVM version 1.0.3(19/02/2002)
emerge -s lvm
