Hi folks,

I am happy to be back to gentoo after all this time :) I setup a gentoo with "lvm on luks" full disk encryption.
The system is able to bootload, decrypt, mount and boot up into a fully running state, but pvscan is not able to see/find my PV after bootup. These are the layers:
Code:
sda2 -> /boot
sda3 -> luks -> lvm -> (/, swap)

I compiled all needed modules into the kernel 4.1.12 and created a initramfs to interact ( luks passphrase, lvmscan, mount root)
Code:
genkernel --no-ramdisk-modules --lvm --luks --install initramfs

And added these kernelparameters to grub.cfg
Code:
 linux   /vmlinuz-4.1.12-gentoo root=/dev/mapper/idefix-root ro crypt_root=/dev/sda3 dolvm rootfstype=ext4 real_root=/dev/mapper/idefix-root resume=swap:/dev/mapper/idefix-swap
 initrd  /initramfs-genkernel-x86_64-4.1.12-gentoo

The system boots fully up with all partitions mounted, but pvscan shows:
Code:
No matching physical volumes found

The PV is still there, it is just not recognised
Code:
# ls -al /dev/mapper/root
brw------- 1 root root 253, 0 19. Nov 23:10 /dev/mapper/root
# file -s /dev/mapper/root
/dev/mapper/root: LVM2 PV (Linux Logical Volume Manager), UUID: LAnlkb-TC6g-izXg-KS1g-nR4k-SaKw-5iUP9r, size: 499833135104

Thus after some research I started to play with filter and type in lvm.conf
Code:
    filter = [ "r|/dev/nbd.*|", "a|/dev/mapper/root|", "a/.*/" ]
    types = [ "device-mapper", 253 ]

Code:
 # grep device-mapper /proc/devices
253 device-mapper

But no luck with this..
Code:

Any Ideas how to get pvscan to recognise /dev/mapper/root? I guess this device is created by initramfs. Maybe it has something todo with the dm-0 stat error above..

Thank you,

Interesting, after I compiled "AHCI SATA" as a module and created a new initramfs with genkernel my lvm volume is recognised again 8O All other kernel options I need to boot this luks+lvm system are still compiled into the kernel.. pvdisplay and vgdisplay work again.
BTW: I use genkernel only for the initramfs, the kernel is build manually.

In order to prove I reverted it. I compiled AHCI into the kernel, build the initramfs without modules and pvdisplay didn't show up anything?! Looks like bug.

Any idea how to debug this?

Thanks,
