Your problem is not LVM. Ignore it (unless your root is on LVM, in which case, *all* your kernels better have initrd images capable of booting off a LVM root). This is a separate issue from anything LILO-related. > I installed kernel-image 2.6.8-1-686 and everything worked fine.

SATA disks under libata (2.4.27 for most controllers, 2.4.28-pre1 for Intel ICH, and everything in 2.6.8) show up as scsi disks. Unless the controller is in some weird "legacy compatibility" mode. Switch your 2.4.x kernel to 2.4.28-rc3, with libata support. > But when I change /etc/lilo.conf and type lilo -t I get: > Fatal: open /dev/hdc: No such device or address Try /dev/sd(a|b), depending if you want to access the first or second SATA disk. > I decided to tell lilo to use /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1 as shown above by using > -b, but all I get is the following: It is a good thing LILO is smarter these days. Given the amount of misleading documentation that tells people to install lilo boot sectors inside their filesystems, it is no wonder it had to. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
