I tried the suggested workaround and it worked. Indeed, it seems lilo expects /dev/dm-* to be symlinks. Thanks. Note that my /dev/mapper/ directory look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/usr/src/bd/packs/_release/radmin$ ll /dev/mapper/ total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 63 2007-01-15 14:18 control brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 1 2007-01-15 14:18 hdapool-homefilesystem brw-rw---- 1 root disk 254, 0 2007-01-15 14:18 hdapool-rootfilesystem So, the symlink creation should be done according to what is present in /dev/mapper and is not necessarily /dev/mapper/vg0-lg0 or similar. (I knew which is which by looking at the major and minor device numbers.) - -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFtetwY8Chqv3NRNoRAnV4AJ9E+BeVsJQx6QmxLMG/Y3Yhc8t5sQCfbWh+ cNDPjzIuT9RKFRU49K/du0Y= =EKa0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
