Duplicate PVs shouldn't cause a failure, just warning messages. LVM will pick one and keep on going. If your new root file system has all the directories in it that the old one did, there shouldn't be any problems mounting the other file systems. Check that they do exist. My guess is that the directories that were mount points for the other file systems didn't get created, so it's possible that /dev, /opt, /proc, /sys, /tmp, /usr, and /var don't exist in the new file system. If that's the case, mount the new root file system and issue mkdir commands for them. Make sure the permissions are the same as the original. On my system, /proc, /sys, and /tmp don't have the default 755 bits, so especially check those. Finally, just reporting "it didn't work" and then saying why you think it didn't work isn't nearly as useful as posting the contents of the console log. :) Since you're new to this, it helps us help you if we can see the actual output. (Even if you weren't new, there's a good chance that _someone_ on the mailing list will spot something you missed.) As a group, this mailing list has a good track record of figuring out problems.
