    Dual boot problem

    Hi all,

    First the problem... though i have WinXP as well as Kubuntu, the boot process does not give me any options to boot!!! it staraight goes to Kubuntu.

    Config: AMD64 Athlon 3000+, ASUS A8NVM mobo, Seagate 160GB Sata HDD, Kubuntu 6.06 (for i386)

    First i installed Windows on my new Sata HDD and left about 100GB for Linux. I made 5*20GB LVM partitions for Linux - of which two i have activated for installation.
    I call the first 20GB VG as linux01 and the second as Linux02, whereas, the first LV as kubuntu01 and the second kubuntu02. (both ext3)
    Kubuntu01 is for "/" and kubuntu02 is for "/home"
    Upon installing, i removed lilo and installed Grub. now grub-install give me the following error..
    rextor@kubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
    Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time.
    /dev/mapper/linux01-kubuntu01 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
    rextor@kubuntu:~$
    /boot/grub/device.map file has the following contents:
    rextor@kubuntu:~$ cat /boot/grub/device.map
    (fd0) /dev/fd0
    (hd0) /dev/sda
    rextor@kubuntu:~$
    How do i go about fixing this?

    Is this an inherent GRUB problem? I mean, i read somewhere that GRUB does not support LVM and they are looking forward to it in GRUB2.
