hi guys,

i need help.  thanks.

i have installed trustix on my pc (2 disks) then changed from ext2 to reiserfs and booting ok.  this is the base system.  now i want to migrate to lvm.  the config is as below:
trustix 1.5 (kernel 2.4.19 with lvm and reiserfs compiled in)
/dev/hdb1, 100mb, /boot, reiserfs
/dev/hdb2, 4gb, /, reiserfs
/dev/hdb3, 256mb, swap

i have created the following on /dev/hda:
/dev/hda1, 100mb, /boot, reiserfs
/dev/hda2, 6gb, /dev/vg00
/dev/hda3, swap

under /dev/vg00 i have a lvol0 as the new root.

i have copied the files across from hdb to hda.  when i boot (from hdb) i can mount all the partitions (includings lvols).  when i try to boot from /dev/hda i will get a kernel panic error... i have created a ram disk using lvmcreate_initrd....

in my new lilo.conf, it has:
root=/dev/vg00/lvol0

what have i missed?
