Hi,

Is this combination possible? Sofar all my attempts to upgrade from Xen
3.0.1 to 3.0.2 have lead to situation where no logical volumes will be
found while dom0 boots. My theories are:
- - In kernel 2.6.16 MPT Fusion driver has changed and does not work
correctly with "Perc 4/IM MPT Fusion bios 5.08.07.07" and no partitions
were found
- - Centos 4.3 contains too old lvm "infrastructure" to be compatible with
 2.6.16 kernel and something from that "infrastructure" needs to be
upgraded, something that 3.0.2-xen does not provide
- - Something is physically broken in PE 1855

Compilation of 3.0-testing also fails to produce xen that is able to
boot 2.6.16-xen image or 3.0.1 2.6.12-6 image from older xen.

Any comments?

Regards,
