Dear all, I'm trying to use LVM + ReiserFS under gentoo 1.4_rc2. The installation ends fine. I had create a volume group named diskvg and a lot of logical volumes (rootlv, usrlv, varlv, homelv).
In the kernel (gentoo-2.4.19-r10) I set built-in the following options: - LVM support - ramdisk support with initrc - DEVfs - mount dev filesystem at boot - loopback support I had create initrd file: lvmcreate_initrd 2.4.19-gentoo-r10 and in /boot/grub/menu.lst I have: kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/diskvg/rootlv initrd=/boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.19-gentoo-r10.gz During the boot the kernel hangs with: Mounted devfs on /dev vgscan -- reading all physical volumes vgscan -- found inactive volume group "diskvg" vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" succesfully created vgscan -- WARNING: this program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group vgchange -- volume group "diskvg" succesfully activated VFS: Cannot open root device "diskvg/rootlv" or 00:0d Please append a correct "root=" boot option kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:0d If I start using gentoo CD and perform all commands by hand I'm able to activate LVM and mount the partitions. Where I wrong? Thanks Enrico -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
