Hello, here is my problem : I installed on a test disk the new version of Mandrake, kernel 2.6.8.1mdk. I have one partition, unique element of a VG named rootvg. On the vg I created 2 reiserfs partitions one for / and one for /home, and a swap partition. No problem with the installation as long as I create the vg or use an existing vg. (In an other mail, I will detail the problem entcountered when freeing a vg during installation process). When booting, I can select the kernel I want with lilo and then, in the list of messages 2 concerning the vg, saying approximately : - The lv is not available - The lv is not complete and mounted read only. Then a kernel panic occurs. An install without LVM works. The same configuration works fine with Mandrake 10.0 and kernel 2.6.3.16mdk. I think the problem is related to the LVM, but do not know what to do.
