Hi, |
| 26 |
Quite null SATA experience but have you put "dolvm2" in Grub's kernel |
| 27 |
boot line (for LVM2 boot support). |
| 28 |
Second thought/question - have you compiled support for your mobo in the |
| 29 |
kernel, plus SATA support? |
| 30 |
Your specific SATA chipset might not have been included in default |
| 31 |
genkernel config, so you have to customize it. |
