Raid and LVM and LILO

Raid and LVM and LILO

[Du]

Hi, I was/am trying to install Debian Sarge r2 with 2 Sata HD's working 
on Raid 1 via Software and in this newly MD device, I put LVM. All works 
fine and the debian installs well, but when the LILO try to install, it 
says me that I dont have an active partition and no matter what I do, it 
doesnt installs....

Does anybody knows what is happening?

Is it a bad idea work with Raid via software and LVM???

Hi Du,

Did you create a /boot partition?  /boot cannot be on LVM (AFAIK), and 
can be a regular partition or raid1.  HTH.

The second thing I tried was that. I made a 200 MB /dev/md0 to be the 
/boot partition and the rest to be /dev/md1 where the system will be 
under LVM. But LILO says be that I dont have an active partition. I set 
the /dev/md0 to be bootable, and set the 2 "Raid Linux Autodetect" 
partitions that makes /dev/md0 bootable too. But LILO never installs...

I assume that your /boot was raid1...  I had similar issues with the 
Debian installer, trying to install a file server using LVM on top of 
RAID.  I never did work out the problem; I installed Fedora Core :-/ 
Sorry I can't be of more help :-(
