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! (pid 448) mount: error 6 mounting ext3 mount: error 2 mounting none switchroot: mount failed: 22 umount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!(I apologize for any typos, I don't have a way to copy/paste from that screen)
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.
Just sort of guessing - could the new m/b have resulted in a new UUID, and the configuration - fstab? hwconf? - is looking for the old?
