I really don't want to lose all of my data.. Tell me how you are booting it. but while you do that, let me tell you how I did it. 1. Gentoo LiveCD 2. Boot into it 3. Modprobe dm-mod 4. vgscan 5. vgchange -ay 6. Mount it. I hope you either e2label'ed it or you know which partition is which. otherwise, Happy Guessing!! :) -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
