(still ?) root on LVM problems

Hi, I had a peek at the ML lately and saw a few messages reporting some success in using GRUB2 as a bootloader in a root-on-lvm setup. I decided to give it a try, so I grabbed it from CVS, but unfortunately it didn't work, just as in my previous tries :( I can't get why but grub-setup insists on

Still unable to install grub 2 on my lvm setup

Hello, I'm still trying to build and use the latest GRUB cvs version when there seems to be some movement in the LVM field. There was a thread in the ML three weeks ago and I tried it again, but I still get the same errors as I got, back in January. The system can be booted with a floppy where th

Putting core.img anywhere

Hi, I have an unusual LVM setup where GRUB cannot be installed (see last Threads on LVM) because there is no room for core.img. The only place where boot data can be put is on a logical volume, but the bootsector (one of diskboot.S or boot.S, I assume) isn't smart enough to understand LVM or file

Grub overwrites LVM

Hello, I used Grub for a long time, but I switched to LVM some months ago and I realized I couldn't use grub anymore so I switched back to Lilo. Since then, I followed Grub development and tried to return to a Grub-and-full-LVM setup. When installed on a floppy disk, the latest Grub can boot my m
