Hi all, meanwhile I have created a VG and some LV's during the installation process of a debian system. My system, which I have prepared for the normal boot process looks like that in the RAM disk: /dev/rootvg /target /dev/hda1 /target/boot /dev/rootvg/varlv /target/var ... Now I have the problem that I could not create a correct bootable system. At the LVM-Howto I found that I have to create a LVM start script. So I create that. In the same documentation I found that I have to run the following command update-rc.d lvm start 26 S . stop 82 1 . But this don't run at my system (it runs at the RAM disk!!!). Further I found that I have to run the lilo command after I configure my lilo.conf at /target/etc/ with the following command. lilo -r /target -F /etc/lilo.conf After running that it seems that my configuration is correct becaus the system start after a reboot. At the point where the volumes will be mounted the system get a kernel panic because it seems that / can not mounted. Have someone an idea what I should do???
