I just tried to install a fresh system using LVM..
6GB disk.. 100MB /boot partition and the rest in a LVM allocation.. within the LVM I created a / volume and a swap volume.. the install went fine but after restarting the system would not boot and was saying something about init=.. Not sure becasue I have started reinstalling already..
Did I do something wrong?
Has anyone tried LVM with Fedora?? How were you drives setup??
I'm using LVM and it's working well. I've created a standard boot partition (/boot) but root is a RAID0 metadevice spanning the remainder of drive one and all of drive two.
What's your grub entry look like for the root partition. If you're getting to the init= then it's not the LVM hanging, it could be that it's not finding your root partition though. Full text of the last few lines of output you get as well as the appropriate boot entry in grub.conf will help (the kernel= line in specific)

I know /boot needs to be kept out of the LVM area..
Should root and swap partitions be kept out of the LVM area as well??
Thanks..
