Hi Robert, Thanks for your reply. Just curious how you got your root partition into an LVM. I tried to do what you suggested but I got this error complaining that I did not have a /boot partition. I suppose I would have to break up the first mod-9 into 2 mini-disks, one for /boot and the other for root, swap, var and tmp. Is that the way you configured your system ?
It't eggs actly how I set up my (Sempron) system recently. _I_ did it manually. It was very interesting. To boot from LVM, your bootloader needs to understand how to read the kernel and initial ramdisk from the LVM. Then, the contents of the kernel and initial ramdisk take over, and those have to comprehend LVM too, but that's just a matter of your vendor (or you) including the right modules and commands. If you're not doing it manually, it all "just happens" when you do the initial install. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please do not reply off-list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
