And I must add for our case: We do not consider booting from a LVM-volume.
We just want to put large Mdisks in a LVM-volume group (i.e. for large
DB's).
Nonetheless we had to tu run mkrdinit and zipl after that for re-boot SLES9
properly (as Stefan in a former note pointed out ...).
Thanks to Hannes for clarification ....
ciao Lutz

Yes, you can. You cannot, however, have /boot on LVM.
zipl needs to have direct access to /boot (or, to be precise, to that
directory the 'target' directive in zipl.conf points to).
Cheers,
