autoinstall with LVM, GRUB, SWAP
Hello, I've got the following questions. 1. Is there a possibility in the autoinst.mxl to deselect lilo explicit so it won't be installed. I can't find a lilo statement in my package section but the rpm still will be installed. I got a hint from a friend. He told me that I should deselct lilo explicit in the autoinstall.xml. Is there a way to do this? Could this be a valuable way of having GRUB instead of LILO. If I understood Anas statement, then it's not possible to have GRUB if LVM is used with an autoinstall. Is there any workaround? Can I migrate from LILO to GRUB using a post installation script? 2. If you use LVM and create a logical volume for /, /home, /usr and swap the swap partition isn't activated and there is no entry in /etc/fstab but the logical volume exists. After I put the entry in /etc/fstab and made a mkswap, swapon -a the swap space was available. 10 minutes later I checkd with swapon -s or cat /proc/swaps and it was saying that the swap space was deleted??!! Did anyone receive a similar message? Thank you very much for your answer. I'm a little bit depressed, because I still have no concept how I can carry out my degree dissertation.....and time is bloody short!! :-( Regards Manuel
