[linux-lvm] LVM changing bios from legacy/IDE to AHCI/Sata

[linux-lvm] LVM changing bios from legacy/IDE to AHCI/Sata

I am running LVM on FC6 2.6.19 and would like to switch over from Legacy/IDE in the intel 965 bios to AHCI/SATA.  Of course, as soon as I change the bios setting fedora won't boot as it can't find any volumes.  I can see how to export the LVM settings, change the text file from hda1 to sda1, and restore it.  But I figure the odds of me screwing this up are good, and I don't see a good recovery method.

Any help on process/recovery?

Thanks,
-Dwight

PS.  Same drive, nothing changing other than a bios setting.

I just ran into this problem.  After trying a whole bunch of things
(including importing/exporting) that didn't work, it turns out that all
it took was adding the ahci driver to the initrd image (mkinitrd
--preload ahci).

Thanks!  I am not familiar with the details of that command, so I will do some digging and ask more questions if needed.

Thanks for the response!
