First thing I did, was to setup LVM within the SuSE7.1 setup tools, which worked out fine. /boot is not on LVM, ext2fs swap is not on LVM LVM: / [reiserfs] /usr [reiserfs] /home [reiserfs] I have too disks, so I set the strip option to two, to get better performance. Now I want to compile a new kernel (2.4.4), and I cannot get lvm working with it. Since root is on LVM I need to do this lvmcreate_initrd stuff, but it does not work ! I get: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 file system). attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=4612, limit=4096 attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=4613, limit=4096 attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=4614, limit=4096 attempt to access beyond end of device 01:00: rw=0, want=4615, limit=4096 VFS: Cannot open root device "3a02" or 3a:02 Please append the correct "root=" boot option kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:02 in lilo.conf it says: boot=/dev/raid/root This should be the correct root. It works with the old 2.4.0 Kernel made from SuSE, propably something is with the initrd or with the Kernel-Setup Please help !! Thanks
