[linux-lvm] raid1+lvm

[galt]

I got it working, thanks to all, especially to Luca. After verifying
that my lilo configuration was sane, I tried making the initrd on another
host. I was able to boot just fine.  I was trying to do everything from
the slackware 8.1 install cd, but the lvmcreate_initrd script doesnt want
to work properly in that environment.

Heres the setup:

# lilo -V
LILO version 22.2

# cat /etc/lilo.conf
lba32
boot = /dev/sda
delay = 50
vga = ext

image = /boot/vmlinuz
root = /dev/rootvg/root
initrd = /boot/initrd-lvm-2.4.18-heh3.gz
label = linux1
read-only
