hello once again,
i used the ls command within the "linuxrc" script of the initial ramdisk. "ls /dev/mapper/control" results only with "/dev/mapper/control"
"ls /dev/mapper results in following output: control ... progs-root ...
so i used "root=/dev/mapper/progs-root" as boot option, but i can still not mount the root filesystem.
was anyone successfull with booting the root-filesystem on am lvm-volume with lvm2 and device-mapper interface, using an initial ramdisk??
can anyone point me in the right direction??
thanks for any help in advance.
greetings from austria,
manfred

hello again,
now i solved the problems with "/dev/mapper/control".
it seems, that the kernel now finds all volumegroups, but now i get a kernel panic, that the kernel cannot mount my root filesystem within the lvm volumes. the message says, that i should append the correct "root=" boot option on startup??
with kernel 2.4.12 and lvm 1.x it was "/dev/progs/root". now i use kernel 2.4.20 with device-mapper and lvm2. as with kernel 2.4.12 i use a inital ramdisk.
how can i find out, what now is the correct option for "root="??
thanks for any help again.
