[linux-lvm] Problems mounting LVM volume as root

[Felix Rodriguez]

Hi All,


I have gotten LVM to work on my linux 2.4.17 kernel system. I am having a 
problem mounting my LVM volume as root. I followed all the instructions in 
the LVM howto that explains how to add an LVM root. I successfully created 
a root LVM volume formated it and copied the original root to the volume. I 
then ran the lvmcreate_initrd script. It created the .gz initrd file in the 
/boot directory. Made all the appropriate changes to lilo.conf and ran 
/sbin/lilo. My problem is when the kernel comes up insmod says it can't 
fine /lib/modules/2.4.17lvm/net/unix.o module. I think it's because the 
root file system isn't being mounted at that point but I am not sure. Does 
anyone have any ideas. I am running the 2.4.17 kernel with LVM support and 
the new LVM version 1.0.3. Are there any know problems with this 
configuration? Thanks.
