5.2. Building the LVM module for Linux 2.2.17+

The 2.2 series kernel needs to be patched before you can start building, look elsewhere for instructions on how to patch your kernel.

Patches:

1. rawio patch

   Stephen Tweedie's raw_io patch which can be found at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/sct/raw-io

2. lvm patch

   The relevant LVM patch which should be built out of the PATCHES sub-directory of the LVM distribution. More information can be found in Section 5.1, Building a patch for your kernel.

Once the patches have been correctly applied, you need to make sure that the module is actually built, LVM lives under the block devices section of the kernel config, you should probably request that the LVM /proc information is compiled as well.

Build the kernel modules as usual.
