Hi all, One of our Dell servers has failed badly, and one of the domU's has been corrupted in the process. It boots up to a point and then gives me a kernel panic: Loading dm-zero.ko module Loading dm-snapshot.ko module Scanning and configuring dmraid supported devices Scanning logical volumes Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... No volume groups found Activating logical volumes Volume group "VolGroup00" not found Creating root device. Mounting root filesystem. mount: could not find filesystem '/dev/root' Setting up other filesystems.
