[linux-lvm] mount root filesystem on lvm

[Manfred Gschweidl <m.gschweidl@inode.at>]

hello again,

now i solved the problems with "/dev/mapper/control".

it seems, that the kernel now finds all volumegroups, but now i get a 
kernel panic, that the kernel cannot mount my root filesystem within the 
lvm volumes. the message says, that i should append the correct "root=" 
boot option on startup??

with kernel 2.4.12 and lvm 1.x it was "/dev/progs/root".
now i use kernel 2.4.20 with device-mapper and lvm2.
as with kernel 2.4.12 i use a inital ramdisk.

how can i find out, what now is the correct option for "root="??


thanks for any help again.
