RE: Problem with LVM on fresh Sarge installation

[<Juraj.Kubelka@infineon.com>]

Could be problem that it is SATA disc? And maybe it is not activated before look for LVM Volume Groups? But I don't know how can I find out it is truth. Or how can I correct it.

Regards.

Maybe your system doesn't have support for LVM compiled in or the initrd 
doesn't
load the proper lvm2 modules? If LVM2 is what you are using off course. Are you using a standard kernel or a self compiled one?

I think there is support for LVM2. I'm using distribution kernel 2.6.8-1-386 installed by debian installer for Sarge. 

---------------
# strings /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-386 | grep dm-mod
dm-mod.ko
