I had partitioned it with a 100mb "/boot", 512MB swap and the rest as an LVM storage group, which I then divided up into "/", "/var", "/cache" and "/mythtv".
The only unorthodox thing I did (and I say that only in hindsight) was use the partition editor to change my "/mythtv" partition from Reiser to XFS while the partition was mounted. I had read that was much larger for large file. When I rebooted no I got a screen fully of numbers (TTY1, TTY2, ....) and no root partition found.
I'm not familiar with LVM, but you can not reformat a mounted partition. I'm very surprised that yast allowed it. And, if you did succeed, I think the filesystem could be completely gaga. And it was... so that could be the reason. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
