    Hello everybody,
    I tried to convert the root to LVM using LVM10 tools (deb: lvm10) on 2.4.27 kernel (deb: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686-smp), but after an lvmcreate_initrd and reboot I get:
    cramfs: wrong magic.
    Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 3a:00.

    I searched the web and the only info I found is that it is not possible using Debian unless compiling a custom kernel.
    Is this correct or do I have other chances?
    (I tried installing a 2.6.8 kernel on the machine, an HP NetServer LH4, but I got kernel panic messages:
    Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!)

    Best regards,
    Marco Ballini
