I used the instructions in the documentation to make a clone of the base system on the lvm partition. just a little bit more information when I actually have the root = /dev/sda1 in place, the failure is: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(8,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) I am assuming that since root is a command line option for a kernel invocation, that the path it refers to is from the perspective of inside the kernel which means the disk translation is in place. ---eric ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
