Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try... But I'd still like to have an answer to the following question : where the hell does grub want to store that image ? Looking at the lvm specs, there's barely 1 or 2KiB of free space just after the boot sector. The lzma algorithm might be very good at compression but I doubt it will be enough... Thanks, JC
