Well, not really, not all of the disks are LVM2. The first two disks raid1 /dev/sda & /dev/sdc are partitioned with 1 small /(root) partition, /dev/md0 -> 10 gigs. The balance of the disk is /dev/md1 under LVM2 with seven logical volumes. /home,/var,/swap etc The next two disks sdb and sdd are raid1 as /dev/md2 which I need to use as an extension of the LVM. More info, when I boot the machine, I see the "GRUB loading. WELCOME to GRUB!" info. Then it enters the rescue mode with a "grub rescue>" prompt. So the kernel is found/finding the / partition.

So I resorted to systemrescuecd-2.0.0.. to fix up Grub.. Thanks, Jack -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
