I am not sure whether this is a bug, but I have exhausted all other
avenues, except for reading and comparing source files, which I am not
qualified for, and do not have the time to learn.
I will post a short description of the problem, and await requests for
further details, if required.
I am building an LFS (Linux From Scratch) system, which boots OK with
LILO. This has a separate boot partition (non LVM), and also a non
LVM root partition.
LILO has no problem booting this system with current LFS scripts.
GRUB has a problem, because (I assume) the root partition is mounted
ro when a vgscan is done.
What I would like to know (for my own peace of mind), is, why this
works with LILO and not with GRUB. I am not looking for a fix, just
an explanation.
