I am running SLES 7 under zVM 4.3 on a z800. The z800 crashed over last weekend, since then I have been unable to boot the my Linux virtual machine. I am getting the following errors during the boot process:
Scanning for LVM volume groups... LVM version 1.0.3(19/02/2002) module loaded vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) invalidate: busy buffer invalidate: busy buffer invalidate: busy buffer invalidate: busy buffer vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume group Activating LVM volume groups... vgchange -- no volume groups found Activating swap-devices in /etc/fstab... 7 [1A [80C [10D [1;32mdone [m 8Checking file systems...

The root file system is currently mounted read-only. To remount it read-write do: bash# mount -n -o remount,rw / Attention: Only CONTROL-D will reboot the system in this maintanance mode. shutdown or reboot will not work. Give root password to login I have gone in the "repair filesystem" mode and have tried to fix the problem. I have used the vgcfgrestore command to try to rebuild the VGDA, then doing a vgscan it would tell me that the volume group is inactive. When I tried to activate the volume group with vgchange I got a segmentation fault. If anybody has any ideas what is going on and how to fix the problem I would appreciate the assistance. Or point me to documention on thei problem. Thank you in advance. Tom Geyer Email:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone:(330) 471-2073 Fax:(330) 471-4034
