And here my configuration
[root at localhost root]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.4.21-4.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img
title Ramsis
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL ro root=/dev/vg00/root
initrd /initrd-lvm-2.4.21-4.EL.gz
And I mounted my new root ' mount /dev/vg00/root /mnt/ '
The new /etc/fstab contains :
/dev/vg00/root / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
But i still think the problrm is coming from the instruction "lvmcreate_initrd" because if I do not use the "-D" flag, the instruction fail, and in the "LVM-HOWTO", it is used without that flag.
If you have any suggestion :)
thank you :)
