the kernel always complaines, that he cannot mount the root fs...
when i use "/dev/progs/root" boot up ends with: VFS: Cannot open root device "3a00" or 3a:00 Please append s correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:00
when i use "/dev/mapper/progs-root" boot up ends with: VFS: Cannot open root device "mapper/progs-root" or 00:00 Please append s correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
i use the append option for "/dev/mapper/progs-root", because i can't run lilo with it, because lilo says, that it doesn't find the device....
i want to upgrade from 2.4.12 LVM1 to 2.4.20 LVM2.... booting with 2.4.12 and LVM1 works now for nearly 2 years.
thanks again,
manfred

i have one more question: what does your "lilo.conf" look like???
especially the "root=...." parameter ist he most interesting one. how does it need to be named with device-mapper???
It looks fairly simple:
boot = /dev/hda vga = normal read-only lba32 prompt timeout = 30 message = /boot/message
image = /boot/vmlinuz label = linux root = /dev/mapper/vg-root initrd = /boot/initrd
But I think you can also use /dev/vg/root (in my case). I think lilo only uses this line to look up the device number (major, minor).
What's your problem?
