lvm boot from second volume group



Hi everybody!

I'm using fc4 and working with xen, and it works great, but I've come upon an issue that I don't know how to resolve.

I've many different images and configurations using lvm and grub to multi-boot. To keep things easy (for me) I use IDE drives and the motherboard's built-in IDE interfaces.

I added another volume group, vg1, to my lvm setup, and placed an fc4 tree on it, and added an entry to grub.conf. However, when I try to boot into that image it fails. Same image on volume group 0 (vg0) will boot.

Has anybody managed to use grub to boot from a second volume group?

I suspect that it may be an initrd issue, but don't know for sure.

Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanx!
