Yes. But for a non-root, non-/usr partition. To get this to work, I unpacked the 2.4.2 kernel source rpm which came with RH 7.1. I created a patch. I ran the patch against the BOOT config file. The patch is attached to this email. I did: cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS rpm -bb --target=i386 kernel-2.4.spec This rebuilds all the 2.4.2 RedHat kernels. Depending on the speed of your system , this will take a while. Then, I did: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48747 Sep 21 03:49 cd /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/ rpm2cpio kernel-BOOT-2.4.2-2.i386.rpm | cpio -imudv '*lvm* The lvm module for the 2.4.2 boot kernel was under the current directory, in: ./lib/modules/2.4.2-2BOOT/kernel/drivers/md/lvm-mod.o I copied lvm-mod.o somewhere onto my boot CD-ROM and into the NFS hierarchy I used for over-the-network installs. In a post-install script, I manually insmod'd the lvm-mod.o. I also compiled and included the lvm utilities on the CD-ROM and in the NFS hierarchy, too. Beware that the LVM in the 2.4.2 kernel is 0.9.1-beta2; you'll need to get that version or a compatible version of LVM utilities for this to work. What I could not figure out was how to modify the module ball, modules.cgz, which is in the stage2.img filesystem in RH 7.1. Yes, I know, Erik Troan of RedHat has told us that all we need to do is run buildinstall. However, I'm a little reluctant to run that without fully understanding it, and I haven't had the time to dig all the way through it yet. --Seth __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
