Mageia forum

Hi there,

I've finished the installation of Mageia1 and everything runs smooth except that Mageia installer was unable to create BTRFS partitions on LVM logical volumes. But may be, this is not a supported feature ?

On an Aspire 5738PZ with a touchscreen, the touch driver works like a charm (monotouch only). Great job !

BTRFS is still Beta, there even does not exist a fsck for it.

I have been able to use LVM on Mandriva for years, not for the / partition (/etc /sbin /boot) but for any others, like /home /var etc.

But after upgrading to Mageia 1, I can't boot and got the following message (after splash=verbose and suppressing vga= as well as adding radeon.modeset=0 because I also have had problem with the radeon):
Logical Volume Manager
file-based locking initialisation failed

What can I do?

PS: Using the rescue mode and replying yes to mounting the devices, lvm2 is nicely launched and all my LVM partitions (about 10 partitions) are mounted.

Many thanks for any help.
