You can set this as an 'append ramdisksize=<size>' in your lilo/bootloader config, but this does not always seem to work. Best way seems to increase this number in the kernel, but this means you need to build a new kernel first, and for that, well, you need to be able to boot :)
Don't know much about GRUB, but the append option seems the best solution for you.

Hi
I have a machine with the following partition structure:
/dev/sda1 /boot (ext3) /dev/sda2 swap /dev/sda3 LVM
The LVM (1.03/rh9) contains one PV and this has Volume00 in it which contains lvs for slash, usr, var, /usr/local and so on...
I rebooted the machine for the first time in ages (same kernel configuration as the last reboot and no changes - or very few).
The machine won't reboot - it panics because of a message (something) like:
vgscan found inactive "Volume00" Error 28 Unable to make /etc/lvmtab.d/Volume00/Volume00.tmp vg_cfgbackup.c line 273
Error 28 is ENOSPC - your initrd is too small to hold the metadata backups.
Thanks - but how do I fix this?
cheers
Geoff
