Dear, I have a lot of problems with LVM of CentOS when upgrading to the new kernel 2.6.18. When I have compiled the new kernel and I insert the new rules in the GRUB configuration and when I restart the server I get the warnings that the group volume “VolGroup00” not found and then the kernel has a panic situation (Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill init!). This problem I have on several servers, so it is not hardware related but I think CentOS software related. After a lot of searching on the internet I have seen many people with this problem but mostly no solution. At http://www.gatago.com/linux/redhat/20330778.html I read almost the same story and a solution but the solution does not work for me and I see the same situation at http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=5087 I do not know what do to any more, hopefully you can help me with getting kernel 2.6.18 working. CentOS systems: 4.3 en 4.4 Kernel: 2.6.18 Kernelconfig: http://www.netfeed.nl/software/kernels/2.6.18/kernelconfig Many thanks in advance! -- Met vriendelijke groeten / Kind regards, Thijs Joosten
