[CentOS] i can't install centos on my poweredge 2950

[Eric Doutreleau]

well i transfer the initrd on another computer and i can see the 
megaraid_sas module.

another strange
when i install with DVd it works like a charm :(
but i would like to install my server with cobbler with all the task in 
my kickstart done.
that s really very very strange

during the boot process
the disk are reckoknized as the system can say that the swap partition 
in on /dev/root/LogVol01
but it says that /dev/root/LogVol00 where is the root partition has no 
block device.
i rerun the mkinird while booting in recue mode but i got the same result.
the nash script seems ok
i guess the problems is that the lvm is not correctly detected
