LVM over software RAID

Has an successfully gotten an autoinstall of LVM over software RAID? I can get sw RAID alone to work, but not LVM over sw RAID. I'm working from Suse 8.1 Professional (boxed). The configuration snippet follows at the end of this email. Note that this is a class I had been trying to merge with other profiles, so it is not a comlete autoinstall configuration. I get a single error when I run this through "xmllint --valid sw-raid.xml": sw-raid.xml:145: validity error: Element raid_device content doesn't follow the DTD Expecting (device_name , parity_algorithm , persistent_superblock , raid_level , chunk_size , mount , format , filesystem), got (device_name parity_algorithm persistent_superblock raid_level chunk_size mount format lvm_group ) ^ I had to put multiple logical_volumes elements in to get this far; it looks like there's a bug in the DTD (the following patch against autoyast2-installation-2.6.40-0 might fix it): --- /usr/share/YaST2/include/autoinstall/misc2.dtd.orig 2003-01-01 19:40:39.000000000 +0000 +++ /usr/share/YaST2/include/autoinstall/misc2.dtd 2003-02-04 20:50:57.000000000 +0000 @@ -20,7 +20,7 @@

I'm not sure how strictly (or if) the auto-installer follows the DTD, so I don't know if there are other fixes needed besides the DTD. In spite of this and a few other minor issues, I have to say I'm quite impressed with Suse's auto-install system; Anas has done a great job! (Especially as it appears to be a one-person show, judging from the traffic on this list.)
