"ls /dev/mapper/control" results only with "/dev/mapper/control" "ls /dev/mapper results in following output: control ... progs-root ... so i used "root=/dev/mapper/progs-root" as boot option, but i can still not mount the root filesystem. was anyone successfull with booting the root-filesystem on am lvm-volume with lvm2 and device-mapper interface, using an initial ramdisk?? can anyone point me in the right direction?? thanks for any help in advance. greetings from austria, manfred Manfred Gschweidl wrote: > > 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. > > > manfred > > > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ >
