The problem is that lilo will pass root=fe00 to the system, meaning that the root device is a device with major 254, minor 0
This has two problems. First the initramfs parses this, and makes /dev/root with those parameters setting $ROOT to that. Then later, when it loops for that to exist, it does, so the loop completes immediately -- before LVM or devmapper have even been run! Mounting fails, so udev is killed, thus the /dev/mapper devices never appear. The second problem is that there's no guarantee that the device will be dm-0 anyway -- LVM install incorrectly sets root partition in lilo.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
