Description Stuart Inglis 2002-10-03 08:01:32 UTC

Description of Problem:

I installed a LVM'ed RAID-1 over hda/hdb. I chose lilo for historical reasons.
On reboot I got to the old "LI" prompt instead of lilo.  I reinstalled exactly
the same way but selected grub instead of lilo. This time everything worked ok. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

8.0

How Reproducible:

Only tried lilo once, then went to grub.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:


Expected Results:

Was your /boot located on a regular partition or on LVM/RAID?

Comment 2 Stuart Inglis 2002-10-03 19:13:12 UTC

Yes, /, /boot and swap were LVM/RAID1

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2002-10-25 19:38:07 UTC

You shouldn't have been able to have /boot on the logical volume -- I get
"bootable partitions cannot be on a logical volume" error when I try.  

Just to be clear, you had

/dev/hda1 - software RAID partition
/dev/hdb1 - software RAID partition
/dev/md0 - RAID 1, physical volume
Volume00 - Volume Group made up of /dev/md0

And then you had /, /boot, and swap on Volume00?
