Hi, I made some progress but still cannot boot. With the gentoo disk I ran: vgscan vgchange -ay and the system re-activated the volumes /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 and /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00. In fact I can now mount (within gentoo) this volume in e.g. /tmp/foo and see the whole tree. However if I try to boot still doesn't do it coming out with the same kernel panic message. So I guess there is something else I have to do to "register" this volume at boot time. If so, can someone tell me what it is? Many thanks in advance.
