Comments/Problems:
I wnated to install Debian with root on LVM. On partitioning step first
time i did not found LVM configuration, I expected to see it after all partitions,
then I found it on top of the menu. Then I created 1 partition (PV) and VG on it.
Creating LV on this VG with default size (all free space) failed. Relevant
output of vgdisplay follows:
VG Size: 57.27 GB
PE Size: 4.00 MB
Free PE / Size: 14660 / 57.27 GB
There free space = 14660 * 4.00 MB = 58640 MB = 57.265625 GB < 57.27
Then I installed base system. This step failed on kernel installation.
Output on 3rd console:
.../initrd: device /dev/mapper/vg00/root not a block device
LVM was not installed in /target
Then I reformated discs and reinstalled base system. Before kernel installation
i did the following:
apt-install lvm2
chroot /target
mount /proc /proc -tproc
vgmknodes
Then installed kernel.
Installation of LILO failed too. I manualy edited lilo-installer.postinst
and set
disc_offered_devfs to /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
disc_offered to /dev/hda
Then I rerun lilo-installer and choosen /dev/hda from list.
After system boot failed with the following messages on console:
No volume groups found
...
/scripts/ext3-add-journal.sh: 32: arith: syntax error: "0x"
...
/sbin/init: 417: arith: syntax error: "0x"
Then kernel panic...
