Re: lvm-mod & Kernel

It displays the value of SYS_LVM.
Since I took the example (lvm.sample.de.sys.tcf) and only changed the path
to /dev/hda9 there should not be any Syntaxerrors.
I use ALICE 0.9.5-11 and the latest images from SuSE's FTP.

What file(s) in initrd are not needed for the Setup and can be deleted?
Or is there a way to enlarge the bootdisk ALICE creates by 30KB?

PS.: Sorry for the 2nd mail (solved internal problem)
