hi guys, after a bit of mucking about I successfully installed an lvm disk on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb2 (4.5g each). Install went fine and eyerything, BUT - when the system tried to come up the first time I got the final bootmessage. VFS: Cannot open root device 3a:1 Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:01 What the... is SuSE not able to boot from LVM-partitions ? What am I missing ?

You should not use LVM for the root partition!

If you cannot use the root partition (/) can you symlink directries at the root level to a LVM partiton. Ex: /usr ---> /lvm/usr and /home --> /lvm/home ? I would expect you should be able to symlink most of what shows up at the root level to /lvm/whatever. All except /boot.

You /can/ use LVM for a root partition, I have done it. See the LVM pages (Accessible through freshmeat) for details. also 'man lvmcreate_initrd' -mab At 8:17 PM -0600 3/22/00, Terry Eck wrote:
