Debian lenny and LVMs

  Date: Dec 11    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 460
  

Wondering something - my non-internet-connected PC has 4 partitions running
MS-DOS 6.22 / Win 3.11 (all are 2 GB FAT16 partitions).

I have LOTS of space left over - the first drive is a 15GB drive, there is a
second 80GB IDE drive and a 160GB SATA drive (on a Promise-based Maxtor SATA150
PCI SATA card).

I know it's "silly" to have DOS, but I'm a die-hard fan of it (just bought a DOS
sound card on eBay to replace the integrated audio).

My question - I have setup Debian twice - once was to use the remainder of the
15 GB drive and the other two drives fully for linux. I'd make a 128 MB boot
partition and then put the swap and root partitions in an LVM spanning all 3
drives. The second way I set things up was to leave out the remaining space on
the 15Gig drive - all else the same.

I keep getting a message that says "Waiting for root...." It is unable to find
the volumes I created. Any ideas? I hate to see all that space wasted.

As far as I know you need the swop and root on the same partition of
each Version you install.
