And that means only /boot cannot be on LVM, as Fraser mentioned.  A
while ago, I tried moving /etc/ to an LVM partition and I couldn't boot
the computer, until I restored it.  However, this was done after the
system was running with /etc in a non-LVM partition.  I suppose it would
have worked, had I installed it that way.
