Grub and logical Volumes


I've noticed a bit of a problem with grub when using the grub shell. I have system that has a boot partition, and a logical volume (/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00) that is mounted as the root fileysstem. From the grub shell if you do this:

grub > kernel = /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/Volgroup00/LogVol00

With this line being the same as in grub.conf and then boot, I get a message about appending a correct device to root=


When this is done with a standard linux partition, say /dev/hda2 or whatever, its no problem, I only get a problem when the device is a logical volume.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?
