Instructions for LVM?

[Tony Abou-Assaleh]

With regards to the /boot ...

Ubuntu says that LILO supports booting from LVM, but GRUB does not. I've
been successful in making an Ubuntu box with RAID 1 on two 200GB SATA
drives. Each drive includes a single primary partition of type RAID and
the rest is LVM.

After a few days of trying, I am still unsuccessful in getting the same
setup going on two 250GB EIDE drives. LILO fails to load the kernel, RAID
or no RAID, but GRUB works fine without RAID.

Cheers,

TAA
