Has anyone else had this problem? I can't be the only one who had
updated to this version. If you have updated and things are working
fine, I'd like to know. That way at least I'll know it is something
on my end.
Thanks,
Tauren

Hello,
I used yum update on a newly installed dual cpu i386 FC6 system a
couple days ago. My system was updated from Fedora Core
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen to 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen. The update went fine.
After reboot, I got the following kernel panic:
Scanning logical volumes
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
No volume groups found

If I'd boot into the original kernel, it booted just fine.
So, today I took a spare system and installed FC6 fresh from
installation disks. The very first thing I did after the installation
was completed was do a yum update. After reboot, the exact same
problem. Both systems don't work with the latest XEN kernel.
For reference, the only packages installed from the graphical
installer were these:
Applications/Editors:
vim-enhanced
Applications/Text-based Internet:
lynx
Base System/Base:
finger
gnupg
man-pages
mdadm
mlocate
nfs-utils
openssh-clients
oopenssh-server
rsync
sudo
telnet
wget
which
yum
Base System/Virtualization:
virt-manager
Since the errors indicate LVM problems, here's info about my disk
layout. I'm configured using two 72GB scsi disks using raid1, then lvm
on top. Disk partitioning:
/dev/sda (72GB)
/dev/sda1 (102MB)
/dev/sda2 (69.9GB)
/dev/sdb (72GB)
/dev/sdb1 (102MB)
/dev/sdb2 (69.9GB)
/dev/sda1 & /dev/sdb1 are mirrored to /dev/md0
used by /boot partition (102MB)
/dev/sda2 & /dev/sdb2 are mirrored to physical volume /dev/md1
used in VolGroup00
/dev/md1 is LVM VolGroup00 and contains these logical volumes
/dev/VolGroup00/lvdom0 (root) 3GB
/dev/VolGroup00/lvswap0 (swap) 4GB
The rest of the space was left empty for xen guest partitions.
I've edited grub.conf to use /dev/mapper vs /dev/VolGroup00, but
nothing has booted with the new kernel.
Is there a problem with the new kernel? Where should I go for a
solution? Should I just run the old kernel for now? If I'm not in the
best forum for this, where should I go for help?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
