We are using the grub bootloader. We have followed the instructions contained in the the lvm howto document provided by sistina, to the best of my ability to understand them. The problem is that system gives a kernel panic when started using the lvm boot option. Is there a way to redirect the boot dialogue output to a file? It appears that the most informative messages may be scrolling of the top of the screen. What I am seeing is this: kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modeprobe -s -k block-major-7 errno = 2 repeated 16 times, followed by vgvchange -- volume group "vg00" successfully activated VFS: Cannot open root device "vg00"/lv01: or 00:00 Please append correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00 Help?
