Upgrading from 2.4 to 2.6: LVM failed

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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?
