Hello,
I experienced also difficulties with / and lvm2.
configuration:
MANDRAKE 10.0,
kernel 2.6.3,
lilo 22.5.8,
reiserfs 3.6.11 ?
lvm 2.00.08
The message I have got is something like lilo does not handle device
type 0x1f00
Can not ensure that it is the exact message and type.
I understood that the version of lilo I use can not handle lvm2 and
reiserfs partition for / during boot ! And especially can not get boot
image in /boot.
Shame :(
regards
Pascal Garcia
