It still does not fscking work! I did this: I took fresh sources of kernel 2.4.18 and unpacked them. Then I installed these patches: patch-2.4.19-pre10 patch-2.4.19-pre10-ac2 preempt-kernel-rml-2.4.19-pre10-ac2-1.patch Then I did "make mrproper". Then I edited Makefile so that compilation used gcc-3.0. I also set install path to /boot. I did NOT copy some old .config to /usr/src/linux . I used some old screenshots of configuration of older kernel, instead. After compilation and installation I booted a new kernel. Here is what I found then: -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/usr/src # fdisk -l /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc Disk /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2231 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 * 1 26208813+ 83 Linux /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 27 77409657+ 82 Linux swap /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 78 2051028160 8e Linux LVM /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 206 223116273845 5 Extended /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 206 3331028128+ 8e Linux LVM /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 334 4611028128+ 8e Linux LVM (Clip) -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # uname -a Linux heresy 2.4.19-pre10-ac2-rml1 #2 Mon Jun 17 00:57:35 EEST 2002 i586 unknown -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # ls /proc/devices /proc/devices -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # ls apu@ bin/ elisp/ softaa@ uptime.txt audio.sh* dopefish.txt install.txt tmp/ viritys@ -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # cat /proc/devices Character devices: 162 raw Block devices: 1 ramdisk -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # uname -a Linux heresy 2.4.19-pre10-ac2-rml1 #2 Mon Jun 17 00:57:35 EEST 2002 i586 unknown -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # dmesg | grep LVM LVM version 1.0.3(19/02/2002) -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # dmesg | grep gcc Linux version 2.4.19-pre10-ac2-rml1 (root@heresy) (gcc version 3.0.4) #2 Mon Jun 17 00:57:35 EEST 2002 -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # tree /proc/lvm/ /proc/lvm/ |-- VGs `-- global 1 directory, 1 file -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # cat /proc/lvm/global LVM driver LVM version 1.0.3(19/02/2002) Total: 0 VGs 0 PVs 0 LVs (0 LVs open) Global: 143 bytes malloced IOP version: 10 3:11:51 active -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # cat /proc/devices Character devices: 162 raw Block devices: 1 ramdisk -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # pvcreate --version pvcreate: Logical Volume Manager 1.0.4 Heinz Mauelshagen, Sistina Software 02/05/2002 (IOP 10) -=*[ROOT ZSH]*=- root@heresy:/root # pvcreate -f -d -v /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 <1> lvm_get_iop_version -- CALLED <22> lvm_check_special -- CALLED <22> lvm_check_special -- LEAVING <1> lvm_get_iop_version -- AFTER ioctl ret: -102 <1> lvm_get_iop_version -- LEAVING with ret: -102 pvcreate -- LVM driver/module not loaded?
