OK...I finally got it to work...However I couldn't put the / or /boot partitions under LVM control which would have been perfect... So I created a 4 Gb / partition which contains /boot as well, and set lilo to boot off of that. Everything else will be under LVM control... I'll keep working on a way to do it with my old box :)... Is there a howto out there on how to combine raid and lvm? Is there a need to write one? Thanks for everyone's help. It is much appreciated.
