I have successfully installed Fedora Core 1, and I use LVM for all my major directories except /. Further, I think I have successfully upgraded to Core 2, that is, I have installed apt and I edited the sources.list and did apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade And maybe I had to fix some small irregularities. Anyway, I never got a 2.6 kernel. So I tried to install one: apt-get install kernel-2.6.8-1.521 But a reboot complained like this: fsck.ext3Possible non-existent or swap device :No such device or address while trying to open /dev/Volume00/home and so on until [failed]. (There was something other that reported [Failed] during boot, but they disappeared quite fast, something with keyboard and/or mouse.) Reading something on the net that kernel 2.6 needs LVM2 which should be backwards compatible made me install it: apt-get install lvm2 But alas, it did not work. I do still get the 2.4 up and running. Anyone care to give some tips on this issue? -- Jon Haugsand Dept. of Informatics, Univ. of Oslo, Norway, mailto:jonhaug@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.ifi.uio.no/~jonhaug/, Phone: +47 22 85 24 92
