May be the problem has nothing to see with lvm! I reinstalled the system two times with the same problem. In fact there is a warning when configuration lilo at installation time. As I did not have that much time to analyse and solve the problem (if I would have been able to), I just made a / reisefs partition, and the problem went away. I have a remark on that, / partition in a logical volume without reiserfs (or a fs that can be resized without unmounting) is non sense for me, because one can not unmount / partition, and one of the interest of the lvm is to adapt the size of a partition when needed. I have a spare disk and when I have some time and my General let me do it, I reinstall the system and write all the problems. May be this week-end. regards Pascal garcia Le mar 23/03/2004 � 20:24, Luca Berra a �crit : > On Sun, Mar 21, 2004 at 09:20:26PM -0500, Jeff Layton wrote: > >My solution for this (so far) is to make a non-LVM2 /boot partition and > >store a kernel and initrd in that.
