+!! LVM under Debian Sarge
+
+If you are upgrading from a 2.4 to a 2.6 kernel and you have an LVM1 partition, you must install the 'lvm2' package.
+
+There are two version of LVM:
+# LVM1 (lvm10 in woody/sarge) work only with linux-2.4.
+# LVM2 (lvm2, only in sarge) work with both linux-2.4 and 2.6, and is backward compatible with LVM1.
