Do i need to do something special or is it as easy as: - save the contents of the current /boot - umount /boot and change the /etc/fstab so it doesn't mount again- create a boot directory that is in the root filesystem- copy the contents back I realize the physical/current /boot will be a waste of space but it's not that big so it's fine. I thought i probably have to make configuration changes of some sort. Again I apologize in advance since I am not really good at this (partition/file system). I have tried searching but am never sure exactly what I should try. I need to find the "for dummies" version(s) of this. Thanks again. KM

No, you can't do that. /boot is special and needs to be a separate partition.
Needs is a bit strong, as grub2 does support LVM. It's not a supported configuration for Redhat.
I'm not a sure there's a lot to it beyond having the lvm module loaded in grub, but I've honestly not tried.
Indeed, /boot does not need to be a separate partition. I have /boot within the root filesystem on my test boxes where I know I will need to install many / all kernels for testing / development purposes for the specific reason that I do not need to set a size for /boot and it can just consume whatever it needs from the rest of the filesystem.
