Hi, I'm new to the list and also "very" new to lvm. I need some help badly. I installed FC5 on a VMware machine with the host being XP. The installation went OK and as I said I didn't realize what the installation was offering me in terms of the disk configuration. Unfortunately at one point I stopped the virtual machine without going through the proper linux shutdown sequence. So now the system refuses the boot with a "kernel panic" message. After poking around a bit I realised that the root partition was installed under an LVM volume which I cannot access now. I booted the system with a live-cd (gentoo) which has all the lvm tools. I need help in the form of a recipe sequence on how I can fix the problem without wiping it irreversibly. Below is the output from running "lvdisplay". Many thanks in advance.
