Well this was with 9.1 haven't had the time to test it with 9.2. Anyway the situation was something like this: lvm was set on top of raid 1. / was on /dev/root/2. vgscan showed the volume active but other utilities (vgdisplay, lmdispaly) showed it inactive. I noticed this when I tried to modify lilo with raid-extra-boot= mbr-only. Lilo complained that it cannot find /dev/root/2. And indeed /dev/root/2 was nonexisting. I rerun installation and there it was (/dev/root/2). So something went wrong since in installation i could see /dev/root/2. I modified some of the init scripts but it didn't work. I didn't spend much time on this since it was just an experiment, I was truing to build a cheap software raid1 as a protection against hard drive failures but i also wanted an easy way to add extra storage.
