sadly most of my systems didnt work first time either though I am slowly working through the issues. Did you add the dolvm stuff to /etc/default/grub? Mine is (one liner): GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='memmap=1M\$157M dolvm i915.modeset=1 enable_mtrr_cleanup=1 zcache resume=/dev/sdb1' Did you get any errors with either of: grub2-install /dev/sda grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg I would also really wish that there was a simple grub and complex grub2 for the masochists rather than just torturing everyone :) BillK
