HI,
I have seen a post on this list regarding LVM on PPC. Is it true that LVM is not supported on Power Macs?
I am was going to install SuSE on G4 PowerMac with ReiserFS formatted mirrored hard drives.
LVM works only with fdisk labels. OpenFirmware can not read fdisk labels.
Hi, Olaf,
No problem, I can install ext2 /boot partition and ReiserFS root/, home/, etc, I hope this should work.
However, some time ago I have reported bug in yaboot which prevents from use of such combo (ext2 /boot and ReiserFS /root). Is this bug already fixed?

No. lilo assumes that the directory /boot is on the same partition as /.
You need a special boot partition anyway for yaboot itself which can contain the kernel. So I dont see a urgent reason to act.
