Thanks for the reply.
In fact, I'm migrating from non LVM HDD to a bigger LVM one.
I've created the vg and the needed lv's.
I've copied all the files from the old disk to the right lv on the new hdd.
I've updated the /etc/fstab on the new hdd to reflect the new 'partionning' scheme.
I've built the initrd and setup a grub entry for booting the new hdd (still as slave).
Here is the grub block used:
title Debian 3.0, GNU/Linux 2.4.22 - LVM root (hd1,1) kernel (hd1,0)/vmlinuz-2.4.22 root=/dev/vg00/root_lv reboot=warm initrd (hd1,0)/initrd-lvm-2.4.22.gz
The system begin to boot with the message:
vgscan -- reading all physical volumes vgscan -- found inactive volume group vg00 vgscan -- "/etc/lvmtab" and "/etc/lvmtab.d" successfully created.
vgchange -- volume group "vg00" successfully activated
then:
cannot open root device "vg00/root_lv" or 00:00 please append a correct "root=" boot option.
and kernel panic ..
Any idea?

Jean-Luc,
if you essentially want to replace your old disk with the new one
(which might be
bigger as well ?), you need to "pvcreate /dev/hdb2", vgextend the
existing vg00
with it (vgextend vg00 /dev/hdb2) and move all LVM data over using
"pvmove /dev/hda2". After that you remove your hda from the system
("vgreduce vg00 /dev/hda2" before you shutdown), make the new disk the
master
and boot. In your bootscript, vgscan should already get started and
that
takes care of the changing device nodes for you.
Don't forget to have a backup of your data in case something goes wrong.
