-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Neal and Joel: I just ran into this myself. After allowing YOU to update my kernel, my system won't boot. When I tried to use Rescue to see why, it says "Is device-mapper missing from kernel?" Well, I don't know. Is it? I foolishly assumed rescue would let me access my LVM filesystems.... This confuses me. The installer is obviously able to use LVM: that's how the LVM partitions were created. However, tried to use Manual Installation to pre-load the LVM module (aka device mapper?) and could not find it in the list of available modules. Crap! I see there was no reply to this on the list. Did either of you find a solution? It would be kind of SuSE to make a rescue CD image available with the LVM modules. Good thing I kept my old 9.0 image around... Thanks for your time, - Darrell On Friday 21 May 2004 04:19, Neal D. Becker wrote:

Hi Neal... Yes I had similar problems with LVM...
My Solution to all these woes Wether using or raid/lvm: Turn of raid functions from the sata controller (so it's now just an sata controller)
Sorry, I should have mentioned I am not using hardware raid. I am using LVM2 stripping (software raid). The controller is promise. I could connect to the via instead, if it would matter.
I don't know which controller would be better. I understand the via is more directly connected to the cpu, but the promise emulates scsi, which might be better (well, it looks cooler anyway:).
One major problem is, the Suse 9.1 rescue mode is *missing the LVM drivers*. Now that my system is repaired, I just tried to boot in rescue mode and it doesn't work. It doesn't mount the LVM array, because it appears drm-mod is not present.
If my diagnosis is correct, this is a serious oversight. I hope Suse will issue an update to fix this.
