OK, mounted newrootpartition newroot Did a cp -x / newroot Successful so far, elementary
Edited newroot/etc/fstab and newroot/etc/lilo.conf to point root to newrootpartition (by uuid) mount --bind /dev newroot/dev mount --bind /proc newroot/proc as instructed in various posts, to enable lilo to run. chroot newroot lilo ... Looked successful. Umounted everything and reboot. Get boot menu (congratulations !?). Chose the kernel. Now got that lvm not ready business.. I usually get this once and then normally boot up. Now getting it over and again. BTW, if I control/C a few times, I end up inside initramfs>. Put up the live DVD, regenerated the initramfs, but ... no change. Put up the live DVD, mounted the old root partition, went through the lilo process and back up. So ... how do I do this??
