I have finally found where the problem is apparently... I had these options for / in fstab: rw,acl This meant that / was mounted rw,acl by the time rs.sysinit was ready to call fsck -T -a on it and since it was not mounted read-only or since it was mounted (that's the impression I get from the error message) the script goes into repair mode for root or just reboots. So this really has nothing to do with LVM :P Has anyone tried to get acl on root?
