Matt, No suggestions for a solution, but this points up why I am _really_ not interested in having LVM manage my root file system. Ever. I would much rather deal with ext2/ext3/etc. in that regard.

Everything worked swimmingly until reboot. Now, on reboot, the system halts with: VFS: Cannot open root device "system/lv_root" or 00:00 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 The kernel command line is: Kernel command line: dasd=0200-207 root=/dev/system/lv_root noinitrd This should be a valid LVM volume. Is there something I need to add to the startup script to get the LVM volumes recognized? I'm running SLES8 - 2.4.19. Also, should the system not be bootable, can the LVM volumes(minidisks) be moved to another virtual guest? I've read the LVM HOW TO, unfortunately running VGEXPORT is not possible because I can't get the original system up. Is there a different way to get the volumes to another system? Thanks, Matt Lashley
