Hi TLUG!

[much about reiserfs and LVM snipped]

The problem is that when I boot into the OS proper something somewhere is still telling something to do with LVM that the file system is still ext3 and thus it throws a kernel panic. I have edited '/etc/fstab', '/etc/mtab' and '/etc/blkid.tab' to read 'reiserfs' instead of the original 'ext3'. Am I missing a file somewhere? Is there a command I need to run to tell '/etc/lvmtab' or '/etc/lvmtab.d/root' that the filesystem has changed? Am I missing something all together different?

Is reiserfs builtin to the kernel. If not (and perhaps even if it is), you may need to build a new initrd with mkinitrd. HTH, P.S. It's generally not recommended to put / on LVM since it can make recovery from disk failure difficult if not impossible. -- tim writer <tim-s/rLXaiAEBtBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org> starnix inc. 905.771.0017 ext. 225 thornhill, ontario, canada http://www.starnix.com professional linux services & products -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
