I think is a *grave* bug, but I don't know where is the problem, lilo, lvm2, libdevmapper... I have root in lvm. Kernel 2.6.8-2-k7,I've read before that root in lvm* is "problematic".
I agree. Even after rading Pigeon's nice HOWTO, and trying to get it working for a day, relented and settled for / and /boot on RAID (which is really easy with GRUB) and everything else on LVM on top of RAID. BTW. Yesterday I bought to 160 GB WD Caviar drives w/ 8 MB cache for US$ 80/each at Sam's club, if anyone is interested. They also have 250 GB drives for $130 and 120 GB SATA drives for $117. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
