Raju" To: "Linux Kernel" Subject: Unable to boot kernel 2.6.24 (lvm unable to find VolGroup00) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi All, As soon as the new kernel released I decided to give it a try. I had RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 with two kernel, 2.6.9-55.ELsmp & 2.6.17.3. I downloaded the new kernel 2.6.24, configured and installed. But while booting, Kernel panic giving the following error: VFS: Cannot open root device "Volgroup00/LogVol00" or unknown-block(0,0) Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) I searched on the linux forum and found that I hadn't added the multiple device support (RAID & LVM) and RAM disk support. So I added them as module and again compiled the kernel but while booting it is now giving the following error: Activating logical volumes Volume group "VolGroup00" not found ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally! (pid 421) I was using a custom compiled kernel 2.6.17.3 earlier. I even tried to compile the 2.6.24 kernel with the .config file of 2.6.17.3 kernel (may be a foolish idea) but it didn't worked too. I got the same error message as above. I even tried 'make defconfig' for configuring the kernel but it didn't worked either. Can anybody help me, what I am missing this time. :-( Thanks, Sam
