Doesn't GRUB understand LVM these days [1]?
hmm seems like it can. I'd have to investigate that but I just did an
etch install with /boot on RAID1 and / on LVM on RAID1[1] the
installer chose LILO without asking me further details. I was fine
with that I booted into the system worked some basic stuff out (at
some point I umounted /boot and recreated the structure on inside
the / FS)
The I had to switch to grub since afaik LILO can't boot Xen which
this box would hold. And grub kept complaining about /dev/vg00/
com..... (the LVM volume) not having or being a physical device so I
just switched back to /boot being on a seperate RAID Volume which
works for me.
I don't consider my self an expert in this area I know what works for
me (which is actually a bad thing since works for me isn't generic
enough most of the time)
