thanks all for your input. Unfortunately it is not working yet and have the same error: gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - check rootdelay (did the system wait for the right device? - missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERt! /dev/mapper/pv-root does not exist. Dropping to a shell this is my disk_config file, I am keeping it to the basics now just to have it installed, later I will add other options. disk_config disk1 bootable:1 primary /boot 500 ext3 rw primary - 4096- - - disk_config lvm vg pv disk1.2 pv-swap swap 2048 swap rw pv-root / 2048 ext3 rw > Sidenote: Although it is possible to create swapspace as a LV it is > strongly discouraged.
