I'm using Mandriva 2006 with the latest xen 3.0 binaries (not the Mandriva packages which gave me problems). I'm not sure how to get xen to see my logical volumes at boot, and I have / and /home both on logical volumes. There is a raid1 array as a physical device in a volume group, vg0. That group contains logical volumes "root" and "home". Creative names, I know.

I am thus far unsuccessful at getting this setup to boot. The challenge is getting xen to see the logical volumes before it tries to mount the root partition. How is this normally done? Does this function belong in an initrd?

Thanks for the help,
Michael
