[linux-lvm] LVM on root, Kernel panic: "I have no root and I must scream"

I've tried both setting root=/dev/vg00/lvol1 and root=0x3a00 - neither
worked.  I'm probably just going to put / as the first device (including
/boot) on RAID-1 and make the rest of the system LVM.  I've spent too many
days trying to make root on LVM work and I need my system back...

Thanks for the tip, though

i use lilo not grub,
but try adding either
root=0x3a00
or 
root=/dev/vg01/lvol1

to the oprions you pass to the kernel.
