I've installed one machine (Fedora Core 3 distro) with /boot on RAID1 device (md0) and all other filesystems on LVM volumes located on another RAID1 device (md1). There was only one volume group, with couple of volumes for file systems (one of them was root file system). The installation went fine, however when I try to reboot machine, Linux kernel is unable to detect LVM volumes, and panics since it can't find root file system. I see messages saying that it is searching for LVM volumes, but it dosn't find any. If I boot into rescue mode from CD (also 2.6.9 kernel), and let Fedora installer search for existing installations, all volumes are found and I can mount root file system. At first I suspected that I was missing some modules from initrd image, and attempted to recreate it by hand. However that hasn't worked (I've attached mkinitrd -v output). It seems that all needed modules and config files are present in initrd image (SCSI, RAID, DM, and ext3 file system). I do remember having this very same setup working on kernel 2.6.5. -- Aleksandar Milivojevic Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7
