Hi, I recently tried to move my debian sid laptop to devuan ceres. Here's what I did:
  apt install sysvinit-core
  reboot
  apt purge systemd
  nvim /etc/apt/sources.list (changed to ceres repos with [ allow-insecure=yes ])
  apt update
  apt install devuan-keyring
  nvim /etc/apt/sources.list (removed insecure)
  apt update
  apt dist-upgrade (10 packages)
  reboot
At this point everything seemed fine (I had to kill dbus-reply when apt was installing before since it just hanged). Then I tried to install eudev and openrc.
  apt install eudev openrc
At this point openrc warned me to reboot immediately, so I did.
Now, at boot it seems like first openrc starts (OpenRC 0.38 is booting Devuan GNU/Linux), but after

The boot reverts to sysvinit-style
  [ ok ] Starting xxx: done.
messages. And now 2 of my LVM volumes have disappeared. lvdisplay reports 4 volumes and "sudo vgchange -aay" reports
  4 volumes in group "main" now active
though, however the device nodes aren't created, so I suspect this is an eudev problem. What can I do now?
