Hello!!

I am = trying to install=20 the LVM v1.0.3 in a RedHat 7.2 but I have some problems. I am following = the=20 HowTo (http://www.sistina.c= om/lvm_howtos/lvm_howto)=20 and I have carried out the steps there suitable. I recompiled Kernel to = be able=20 to support LVM etc... At the moment I have the following hard = disks: =20

/ dev/hda1 ext2  (Linux native) =
/=20 dev/hdb1 swap  (Linux swap)
/=20 dev/hdc1 ext2  (LVM volume)

In the / = dev/hda1 has installed the current RedHat, but what I attempt is migrate = the /=20 to a LVM volume (following the howto http://www.sistina.com/lvm_howtos/lvm_howto/Converting_a_root_= filesys.html)=20 but here it is where I have problems. The unit LVM is created and it is=20 activated in the boot process. I have copied the whole content of the / = less=20 /boot directory. The problem comes when wanting to pull up Linux having = the / in=20 the volume LVM (/dev/hdc1). The modifications of the one in the = /etc/fstab of=20 the /dev/hdc1 is carried out, as well as the creation of the initrd and = in the=20 grub I have added the correct option to be able to start up: =
=20
title Net Hat Linux (2.4.7-10) VLM Support =20
        root (hd0,0) =20
        kernel /=20 boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-10feb2002 mem=3D250M ramdisk=3D5038 ro = root=3D/dev/q3xvol/ro =20
        initrd /=20 boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.7-10feb2002.gz

When I start up = and I=20 select this option and the system it begins to start up.... but = shortcomings=20 take place:

.
.
. =20
hdb:<7> LDM: DEBUG (ldm.c, 876): = validate_partition_table: Found=20 basic MS-DOS partition, not to dynamic disk.

And=20 the system stops having that reeboot. It seems that he doesn't find or = it cannot=20 mount the root. Does somebody know what it happens? Some idea? =

Thank you for the help!
