My setting: - lilo 22.2 - kernel 2.4.36.5 with lvm,ext2,ext3 static compiled My fstab: /dev/hda1 /boot ext3 noatime 1 2 /dev/VOLROOT/ROOTLV / ext2 noatime 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VOLHOME/HOMELV /home ext2 noatime 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto 0 0 I have in my linux box: - 1 ide disk, boot partition -> /dev/hda1 - 1 scsi 3ware controller -> /dev/sda (2Tb) and /dev/sdb (2Tb) - it is partitioned into /dev/sda1,/dev/sda2,/dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb1 (my future boot partition will be /dev/sda1, now it is /dev/hda1) my swap partition is /dev/sda2 my ROOTLV logical volume = /dev/sda3 my HOMELV logical volume = /dev/sdb1 Ok, now I write my lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/lilo-menu/boot.b vga=788 default=LVM-2.4.36.5 keytable=/boot/it-latin1.klt lba32 prompt nowarn timeout=100 message=/boot/message menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.36.5 label=linux-2.4.36.5 root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.36.5.img append="devfs=mount ramdisk_size=8192" read-only image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.36.5 label=LVM-2.4.36.5 root=/dev/VOLROOT/ROOTLV initrd=/boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.36.5.img append="devfs=mount ramdisk_size=20198" read-only other=/dev/fd0 label=floppy unsafe Now I write my initrd->linuxrc: #!/bin/nash echo "Inserting modules..." insmod /lib/modules/3w-9xxx.o insmod /lib/modules/iteraid.o insmod /lib/modules/linear.o insmod /lib/modules/raid1.o insmod /lib/modules/raid5.o echo "Mounting /proc filesystem..." mount -t proc /proc /proc echo "Creating device file..." raidautorun /dev/md0 raidautorun /dev/md1 echo "Setting up LVM Volume Groups..." vgscan vgchange -a y vgmknodes echo "Creating root device..." mkrootdev /dev/root echo 0x0100 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev echo "Mounting root filesystem..." mount --ro -t ext2 /dev/VOLROOT/ROOTLV /sysroot umount /proc pivot_root /sysroot /sysroot/initrd echo "Remounting devfs at correct place if necessary..." handledevfs So, when my linuxbox boots, I read: Loading LVM-2.4.36.5 ............................................................................ : : Setting up LVM Volume Groups... vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
