did you run lilo again after creatinh the initrd? <sheepish grin> No </sheepish grin> OK, ran lilo and it got back to stage one again - cannot open libz.so.1 (error exactly the same as per my first LVM root mail) :( I had some trouble with pvcreate because MDK set my system up with devfs enabled. Could this be playing some part in the problem? Cheers, Ben
