[solved] lvm error loading libudev

Question

Hi,
After updating I can't boot my arch linux because lvm volumes can't be found.
"/sbin/lvm: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
There is only a libudev.so.1 in /usr/lib/
Someone getting the same error message?

Answer 1

worked for me as well.  I wrote the process for myself. so I am putting it here in case someone needs help.  I can expand on it if necessary.
1. boot into install cd
2. unlock encrypted drive
        - modprobe dm-crypt
        - modprobe dm-mod
        - cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sdx container
                (these can be found on /boot/grub/menu.lst file).
                enter password
        - will open the /dev/sdx drive
3. if lvm
        - vgscan
        - get the name of the vg
        - vgchange -a y {name of vg}
        - lvscan should display all lv on device
4. mount root
        - mkdir /mnt/arch
        - need to know root fs type
        - may need to run fs check before mounting
        - mount -t fstype /dev/{lvroot_path} /mnt/arch
5. chroot (from change root wiki)
        cd /mnt/arch
        mount -t proc proc proc/
        mount -t sysfs sys sys/
        mount -o bind /dev dev/
        if seperate partitions for boot usr var, mount them
                eg:
                mount /dev/<device-or-partition-name> boot/
        if network:
                cp -L /etc/resolv.conf etc/resolv.conf
        chroot . /bin/bash
6. mkinitcpio -p linux
7. reboot
