I am not sure whether this is a bug, but I have exhausted all other avenues, except for reading and comparing source files, which I am not qualified for, and do not have the time to learn.
I will post a short description of the problem, and await requests for further details, if required. I am building an LFS (Linux From Scratch) system, which boots OK with LILO. This has a separate boot partition (non LVM), and also a non LVM root partition. LILO has no problem booting this system with current LFS scripts. GRUB has a problem, because (I assume) the root partition is mounted ro when a vgscan is done. What I would like to know (for my own peace of mind), is, why this works with LILO and not with GRUB. I am not looking for a fix, just an explanation. > > NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0. > > Mounting proc file system... > > [ OK ] > > Setting up LVM Volume Groups... > > vgscan -- ERROR "creating lvmtab" creating lvmtab <<============ > > vgscan -- no volume groups found <<============ > > > > loop: loaded (max 8 devices) > > vgchange -- volume group "vg00" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vg01" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vg02" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vg0e" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vg1a" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vg2b" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vgd0" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vgd1" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vgd2" successfully activated > > vgchange -- volume group "vgme" successfully activated > > > > [ OK ] > > Activating all swap files/partitions... > > Adding Swap: 1048568k swap-space (priority -1) > > [ OK ] > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- TIA -- Tony _______________________________________________ Bug-grub mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-grub
