I had understood the complexity to be the separate /boot not the use of lvm...
grub 2 can boot from an lvm'd /boot.
Could you please point me to the documentation for this? I would
really like to read up more and understand what limitations/advantages
I might have as I have been waiting for this to be included since F10.
