I had to replace the motherboard on one of my CentOS 4 systems and am now getting a kernel panic.
When I try to boot up, I get this:
Volume group "VolGroup00" not found ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally!

I can boot up with the boot CD, go into rescue mode and browse the files, so I know the drives are ok.
I found some stuff online saying that I should recreate my initrd from rescue mode if the motherboard changed. I tried this, but am still getting the same results.
Anyone have any ideas here? I can rebuild the machine if I have to, but that's a last resort.
Sorry, hit <send> and had another thought: I think you said you rebuilt the initrd... *could* you see the drives? *Did* the running system you rebuilt from have all the LVM drivers loaded when you rebuilt it?
I can see the drives from the rescue environment. I don't know how to check the LVM drivers.
