Hello,

I've been updating a cluster of Redhat-based machines with Systemimager
for some time now, and I recently decided to move everything over to
LVM partitioning.  I've got a golden client successfully running with the
partition scheme I want.  Getimage created the image without errors, and
updateclient updated my clients without errors.  However, on reboot, I
find the following on my updated clients:

Scanning logical volumes
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created
vgscan -- WARNING: This program does not do a VGDA backup of your volume
group

Activating logical volumes
vgchange -- no volume groups found

Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 2 mounting ext3
pivotroot: pivot_root(/sysroot,/sysroot/initrd) failed: 2
umount /initrd/proc failed: 2
Freeing unused kernel memory: 156k freed
Kernel panic: No init found.  Try passing init= option to kernel.

Any ideas what would cause this?  The golden client works perfectly.
Software and partition info is included below.  All other
clients have precisely identical hardware to the golden client.
Thanks so much for any help any of you can provide!

Golden client is running: 
systemimager-client-3.0.1-1
systemimager-common-3.0.1-1
systemconfigurator-2.0.7-1.  

Server is running:
systemimager-common-3.0.1-1
systeminstaller-x11-1.01-1
systeminstaller-1.01-1
systemconfigurator-2.0.7-1
systemimager-i386boot-standard-3.0.1-2 and systemimager-server-3.0.1-1.

Clients (before update) were running:
systemimager-common-3.0.0-1
systemimager-client-3.0.0-1
systemimager-server-3.0.0-1
systemconfigurator-2.0.4-1



The partition scheme on my golden client is as follows:

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1   *         1        13    104391   83  Linux
/dev/hda2            14      2563  20482875   8e  Linux LVM

The outputs of vgscan, pvscan, and lvscan are:

# vgscan
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
vgscan -- found active volume group "Volume00"
vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created

group

# pvscan
pvscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...)
pvscan -- ACTIVE   PV "/dev/hda2" of VG "Volume00" [19.53 GB / 0 free]
pvscan -- total: 1 [19.53 GB] / in use: 1 [19.53 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0]

# lvscan
lvscan -- ACTIVE            "/dev/Volume00/lvroot" [8.74 GB]
lvscan -- ACTIVE            "/dev/Volume00/lvusr" [7.81 GB]
lvscan -- ACTIVE            "/dev/Volume00/lvvar" [1000 MB]
lvscan -- ACTIVE            "/dev/Volume00/lvswap" [2 GB]
lvscan -- 4 logical volumes with 19.53 GB total in 1 volume group
lvscan -- 4 active logical volumes

And my /etc/fstab is:
/dev/Volume00/lvroot    /                       ext3    defaults
