I'm probably missing something very simple. My hard drive looks like this: [root@mavis ~]# fdisk -l

However, if I boot e.g. KNOPPIX, I'm unable to mount anything except the /boot partition on hdb1. Is there any way out of this intolerable situation other than doing a full backup, repartitioning the hard drive without that damnable LVM and restoring the whole thing from the backup?
You could get a rescue CD which understands LVM. Say the FC4 rescue.

Well, I *could* simply boot one of the three CentOS kernels in GRUB's repertoire just as I do on those rare occasions I boot. I was hoping someone could point me to a utility that will undo the LVM mess permanently. I think I've figured out a way to accomodate my current need to have my data available when booted into KNOPPIX but I won't be able to try until tomorrow.
