Thread: Install 9.04 alt CD to LVM no GRUB install
i built new system new empty 1 tb hard drive. installed windows vista in 200gb primary partition , left rest of disk unused. installed ubuntu several different ways remaining space on disk, can't way want it.
want grub dual boot setup ubuntu installed lvm in remaining 800gb empty space.
there's guided partitioning option install ubuntu lvm using entire disk, don't want because want keep vista system in first partition. there no guided option install ubuntu lvm in remaining space.
set expert mode (f6 initial install splash screen) control on install , tried manually partitioning. created 10 gb swap partition @ end of unallocated disk space, created lvm physical volume group in empty space. created logical volume root / , logical volume /home.
install proceeded successfully, got option install lilo. since want grub , not lilo, skipped lilo step , told installer not install boot loader. finished install, there never option install grub. have ubuntu installed lvm extended partition no way boot it. windows boots normally.
how can grub installed can dual boot vista or ubuntu?
help. i'm not linux newbie, i'm not familiar ubuntu installation process.
solved.
started over. time created primary partition #2 bootable ext3 partition /boot, created lvm pv in extended partition in remaining space on disk. created lv swap, root, , home.
time when got boot loader part of install script, had option of installing lilo or grub. chose grub, installed mbr, , worked. can dual boot either vista or ubuntu.
evidently, must have /boot mounted in primary bootable partition in order grub presented installer possible boot loader.
