Re: [CentOS] mount the wrong device after system recovery

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

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?

What does your /boot/grub/grub.conf read? You have to edit that, then reinstall grub.
