I am running mirrored drives for /boot. I can not boot off of lvm. I have the rest of my drives on software raid5 and i have created lvm volume groups and put my / filesystem allong with everything else on them.
Do you think the issue is that between the 2.6.18 kernel and the 2.6.29 kernel - there was a change in the drive naming convention ???? where the hd* are now sd* ??? I am concerned if i try to change it, the system will not boot. When compiling the kernel...does this stuff not happen automatically ??? thanks
