how to get lvm disks to work?

--I just remembered an easy way to get things mounted again in chroot:
' mount -a ' should do it.

--I wouldn't try running X from chroot, period... That's what booting *Mandrake* is for. But try ' mc ' again from chroot; what it's doing eating memory like that, I don't know... But it's prolly loading a bunch of support libs.

--Mount your Mandrake root partition and chroot to it.
' mkdir /mnt/mdkroot '
' mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/mdkroot '
' chroot /mnt/mdkroot '

--You may have to mount things again inside, once you're chrooted. BTW, the chroot only works for the 1 VT (virtual-terminal) that you issued the command in.

I tried chroot, but it would not let the program run in X. It also ate ram like candy when I attempted to use mc.
