I am trying to get FC5 on my usb drive. I have two sata drives in my system, as sda and sdb, and the usb drive is sdc. I have been trying to follow the tips on this matter, but with the LVM partitions. I can't mount the /dev/LogGoup00/LogVol00 (or whatever it's called), because my /dev folder doesn't show them at all, even though running fdisk -l shows my sdc has the following two partitions: /dev/sdc1 boot ext3 /dev/sdc2 LVM partition am I missing something in here? I also tried looking in the /dev/mapper folder, but I have only 'control' in there. Am I barking at the wrong tree anyway? Has no one been able to get it to work with LVM on USB drives? Should I just try partitioning it without LVM, and then the instructions work (basically - running the mkinitrd with the needed modules, and running it once from the grub console)? I tried it several time a few weeks ago, and I think I was able to get the mkinitrd stage right (it failed later, but now I see I missed some things along the way), and I just can't remember how I mounted the LVM partition. Thanks for the help anyway, it's a good forum, and a good thread.
