[CentOS] Removing LVM

I have a CentOS 5 machine in which I'm trying to remove lvm. I dd'ed the
file system to another partition, then dd'ed it back overwriting the lvm
partition. I then modified menu.lst and fstab and replaced the paths to
point to the correct device. 

When the system boots it's still looking for lvm. I can restore the
system back to where it was with lvm, but I'm not sure what step I'm
missing to stop the system from looking for lvm. 

I started following this url:

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
