Markus, we don't support root on LVM2 yet :( On SuSE what you want to do that still _and_ have an LVM2/device-mapper emergency boot media at hand if something goe wrong it goes along these (untested!) lines: - have device-mapper and LVM2 tools installed - in case you want to go with the device-mapper module: - add dm-mod to your /etc/sysconfig/kernel - build/install a kernel qith dm-mod - run mkinitrd - add "modprobe dm-mod" etc. to the created initrd: - gzip -dc /boot/initrd>initrd.wrk - mount -oloop /boot/initrd.wrk /mnt - echo -e "lvm vgscan\nlvm vgchange -ay" >> /mnt/linuxrc - cp -p /sbin/lvm /mnt/sbin - cp -sp /lib/libdevmapper* /mnt/lib - umount /boot/initrd.qrk - gzip -c /boot/initrd.wrk>/boot/initrd - lilo - rm /boot/initrd.wrk On Fri, Dec 06, 2002 at 08:32:11PM +0100, Markus Weiss wrote: > > Hello everbody, > > I ran into a problem testing LVM2 on my system. > I have / on LVM, and booting into kernel 2.5.50 (with dm compiled in, > libdevmapper and LVM2-tools installed) fails, because the kernel cannot mount > the root fs.
