Hello,

I wanted to try the new CIFS code - so attempted to upgrade my nv64a x64 box to 
nv82. I first tried using Live Update on a Volume Manager Mirror (metaattach et 
al) - but GRUB refused to mount the LU'ed BU on the mirrored drive - giving me:

Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
[BIOS accpeted mixed-mode target setting!]
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition.

Next, I attempted to perform a DVD upgrade, but the installer GUI failed to 
identify any existing partitions (showing a 'Cannot mount root partition' 
error).

Is nv64a - nv82 too big a jump for the update process?

If not, can anyone suggest what I try next? I could un-mirror the disks and try 
and perform a fresh install on the spare mirror disk, then boot to that and 
re-setup the mirror back to the original drive?

FYI the root/boot disks are on a Marvell 88SE6121 controller.

Ben
