Hi,

 

I am recovering a CentOS 5.4 system. I’ve copied all partitions into the recovery system. I’ve installed grub boot loader. However, the original system is using /dev/sdb1 for root (/), while the recovery system is using LVM (/dev/vg0/lv1) for root (/). When recovery system boots, I got the panic error:

 

·         Mounting /dev/sdb1 on /sysroot

·         Mount: mounting /dev/sdb1 on /sysroot failed: No such file or directory

·         Mount: mounting /dev on /sysroot/dev failed: No such file or directory

·         * switching / to /sysroot

·         Switch_root: bad newroot /sysroot

·         Kernel panic – not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

 

I’ve changed the recovery system fstab to use the correct devices. I deleted recovery system etc/lvm/cache/.cache file. But it still doesn’t work. What am I missing?

 

Thanks,
