[arch-general] LVM On The Eee 701 4G (SSD + SD Card)

[Tiago Pierezan Camargo]

Carlos,

I don't have a Eee PC, so I am only guessing. Probably, your initrd 
image is missing the usb/sd/mmc modules. I don't know exactly which 
modules are necessary, but you can try to add usb to the HOOKS section 
of /etc/mkinitcpio.conf just before the lvm2. You may also have to 
manually add some modules to the MODULES section, like mmc_core.
