18 My problem is the grub can't find my partition or even disk.So now,
19 when I press tab key, there is not any notation appearing.That I
20 think,because grub can't detect my disk.
21
22 /dev/cciss is a kind of Logic Volume Manager(LVM).I don't know how
23 exactly it works.But I know it's different from the LVM2, which I
24 installed it and use it in my another machine.I heard that the
25 /dev/cciss is result of some hardware components.But of course, the
26 LVM2 is implemented by software.
27 One of their difference is that:I can see and set the LVM in my
28 machine when the machine even has not enter any OS.When my machine
29 start up, press F8,I can enter a menu in which I can see the LVM and
30 set it.
31 But the LVM2,you can only see it after you enter your linux OS.
32
33 ps: My machine is a Hewlett-Packard workstation.
