Hi all, is there a solution to install debian with a lvm partitioning? I want to partition my only dasd (vdev 100) in this way:
-- Disk Partitions /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0100-part1 /boot EXT3 /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.0100-part2 none LVM -- Logical Volumes /dev/system/root / EXT3 where "system" is vg_name and "root" is lv_name I have tested the images (kernel.debian, initrd.debian) taken from stable branch and unstable branch: (1) in "stable" case the debian-installer returns to me an error on partitioning disk with a message like this: "Partition(s) 2 on /dev/dasda have been written, but we have unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because if/they are in use. As a result the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.". After completing the remaining steps without errors, the d-i informs me that ZIPL installation is failed: no /etc/zipl.conf created. Obviously, at restart the system is not bootable. (2) in "unstable" case the d-i denies me to use lvm in partitioning with a message like this: "The current kernel doesn't support the LVM. You may need to load the lvm-mod module" I looked in mailing-list messages, but I have not found anything.
