GRUB doesn't need access to any of LVM devices in my case! /boot with kernel and initrd is on the separate partition (/dev/sda1 using ext3). I'm talking about grub-probe an userland Linux program, which just searches for filesystem type and uuid of the root and swap partitions. This informations are used by update-grub Debian script and passed to Linux kernel using root= and resume= kernel parameters on boot. Grub doesn't need to interprete or read them in any way or access them in any way on boot. -- Witold Baryluk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
