Linux 2.2 does not have LVM as standard. If you want to use a 2.2 kernel with LVM you will have to patch and build your own kernel from sources.

No. Debian packages don't automatically install kernel modules because they don't know which kernel you are running. -- patrick _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/
