I runing 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...

fsck failed.  Please repair manually and reboot. 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.


Thank you in advance.
