It's not mounting any volumes by default as it's not able to read
partition table and hence says no Linux partitions found. But I am
able to see partitions using fdisk and check LVM volumes. I am not
sure which volume of that contains OS install VolGroup00-LogVol00 or
VolGroup00-LogVol01. Is there any way I can determine it?
