Thanks for the information.
I was already wondering if I was the only one with this problem.

But what about the init files that are normaly in "/etc" ?
I can imagion that a tmpfs is an empty filesystem.
Or do I not fully understand what you mount option does ?

>/#!/bin/sh

>mount -t tmpfs none /etc
>mount -t proc none /proc
>echo "Scanning for Volume Groups..."
>/sbin/vgscan
>echo "Activating Volume Groups"
>/sbin/vgchange -a y

>umount /proc
>umount /etc
