Hello all, again a little question. i have currently the following configuration: # fdisk -l /dev/hda /dev/hda1 1 1115 8e Linux LVM /dev/hda1 => rootvg rootvg /dev/rootvg/root / /dev/rootvg/usr /usr /dev/rootvg/boot /boot Why this configuration is so bad? Is it better to leave the /boot on an "normal" ext2 filesystem? But, what files need the kernel from /boot to bootup the system correctly? I think the kernel will be stored in the master boot record with lilo? And all files from /boot are accessable, after the ramdisk was loaded. Btw. linux boot up succesfull, on my other system, where the /boot is on an logival volume. Any hints?

However the *boot* filesystem should be /boot, which should be a small ext2 partition mounted directly on a partition. Bill -- William H.
