That is not correct. You can even use the debian installer to install root on LVM (generic kernel). You probably want to be using lvm2 rather than lvm10 (old). The trick is that /boot must be on it's own partition, and must not be LVM. What version of Debian are you using? I've never tried converting a system to LVM, so I'm not sure I can be of much help in that case, but if you were to start with LVM from a clean install, I think you'd find it pretty straight forward. -davidc -- gpg-key: http://www.zettazebra.com/files/key.gpg
