 Hi, I just wanted to give initng a try.
 I am running Debian etch, with lvm.

 I have installed the deb package 0.6.7-1 and ifiles 0.0.5-2 yesterday,
 configured grub, and tried to boot.

 I have seen some messages that /usr/bin/awk, sort, uniq is not available
 (as usr was not mounted at that point). Initng did not stop that time.

 Then it has executed system/checkfs start
 and fsck did not find any /dev/mapper/vg-* devices.
 it has said that system/checkfs has terminated with some signal, and
 system/mountfs has failed and it has ended there.

 It has started a maintenance shell. From that it seems that the dm modules
 are loaded, but lvm was not started yet.

 When I have executed /etc/init.d/lvm start, the devices were created (by
 udevd).

 So I suppose the problem is just that it has tried to check and mount the
 filesystems before they were introduced.

 But I don't know how shall I continue the boot process. After ^d it hasn't
 tried to execute the failed step(s) again, but wanted to go further.

 Even shutdown, did not work, so I had to turn the machine off.

 I have expected that it will at least be able to boot my system out of the
 box. I thought that I only have to configure things later.

 Since I am pretty new to initng, sorry if I have overlooked something, or
 the bug is in a different component, or something like that.

 Cheers,
 Gabor
