We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform.  Please can you check if this bug still applies there, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

Perhaps this patch works: http://debian.jones.dk/hykrion/pool-etch/sid-jones/grub/debian/patches/nic-drivers_updated_to_eb5.3.15.diff

I'd be happy to know about succes or not on this. Drop me an email on the public mailinglist -email is unavailable-

Hi,

The patch was usable with Suse 9.3 grub-0.95, with a few fairly elemental mods. LVM2 however, is not recognised, I am trying to see if it is simply a flag type thing - some expert help would be appreciated here...;-).

LVM1 Vg's , however, work likes a charm (recognised, listable directories , assignable files, so I assume it will work on boot)

Hope this helps.

Does this support lvm2?

I have done the (trivial) changes required to make this patch
apply cleanly to version 0.92. I have only tested it with
reiserfs, but that works perfectly.

Thanks for creating the original patch.

Nice to see that someone took over this task.
This should enable booting from an mirrored md device holding an lvm root partition (Raid 1).

Question: Did anyone check wether this is possible from an RAID 5 arranged software raid?

Attached is a diff against grub (sorry, not latest release, I hope this is not a serious problem) which adds full Linux-LVM support to grub. It even supports loading of stage2 from stage1.5 (+4k) and any combination of Volume Groups and Logical Volumes. Snapshot volumes are untested, but should work. LVs are accessed like this:
"root <system:boot>", i.e. <vgname:lvname> - the corresponding block devices are sorted out by the LVM code. Autocompletion works, it is documented in grub.texi, selectable via configure, the ChangeLog was updated - I tried to make it as complete as possible.
One point remains: I copied linalloc_* from gunzip.c and adjusted the memory address, it seems to work but please someone else look at it to make sure it is correct.
(If my estimations are correct, it won't conflict with gunzip.c, but I don't know what lies below that memory area. 256GB total LV space uses ~512k memory currently)
