Angstrom related questions

Hi All,

I’ve just installed angstrom 2010.next in my beagleboard xM. Here is two dump questions.

First, i tried to set static MAC in interfaces file, after ifup I have the following error: cannot assign requested address.
This trick works with ubuntu perfectly, why it is not working here?

Second, do anyone use LVM with angstrom? I cannot find any LVM utils in this distro. Really do not want to compile them on my own :\

Thank you very much in advance!

Best Regards,
