Re: [Xen-users] lvm root partition

Has anyone had any joy running lvm as the root partition on a domain 0
machine?
I've download the 2.0.6 source and built that (I'm using xfs so I have
to compile from scratch -- the only difference is I've added xfs.) but
when I come to boot into the xen kernel it cannot find the root
partition.
 
By default, kernel modules are included in initrd, so using different 
kernel means you have to create a different initrd. In my case, to 
simplify things I include all disk drivers (SCSI, ext3, reiserfs, etc) 
and LVM driver in the kernel (not as a module), so I can use the same 
initrd image (which only contains executable and scripts, with no kernel 
module) for all versions of Xen kernels and native linux kernels.
