First thing I did, when I built a new Desktop machine, and inserted my nVidia card in, was to disable the onboard GPU in the bios setup. That keeps it all nice and clean, with regards to video detection. No need to have two dissimilar GPU's contending for display rights. You just wind up with

I am reading a lot on LVM, and it seems that I have a small doubt. I found this on tldp HOWTO on LVM: root on LVM requires an initrd image that activates the root LV. If a kernel is upgraded without building the necessary initrd image, that kernel will be unbootable. Newer distributions
