My grub.conf is pointing to sdb1 for /. I've corrected to use
/dev/vg0/lv1. But after rebooting, I am getting the same error. I guess
I need to rebuild initrd.img file. How do I rebuild that file?
Thanks,

You need to rebuild the initrd and make sure the grub.conf file is
up-to-date (has the right thing for the root parameter).
