[linux-lvm] Very tricky new install of Linux (using LVM and Kernel 2.4)

I have made a kernel patch for 0.8 final on 2.2.  You will also need the
rawio kernel patch (or a vendor kernel which already includes this patch).

You can get the 2.2 LVM patch (along with bug-fixed 0.8 final user tools) at:
