Then my case was different. Anybody else touching the yaboot.conf? I have not seen this, so please let us know if you get to the bottom of this.

Hey George,

Yes, once I edited the /etc/fstab to reflect the change to /dev/vg0/root
and swap002 everything worked correctly.  What is even more puzzling to
me is the fact that /etc/yaboot.conf file somehow was already using
/dev/vg0/root when I know from before they used the default
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 LVM names.

What can you see under the /dev/mapper directory? I recall seeing this issue with a similar hardware config and the advice was to upgrade to the latest release due to some issues with LVM. The problem however was that there was fs corruption (changing manually the fstab entry did not mount the fs in a clean way). Can you mount root on the system disk if you change the fstab to /dev/vg0/root ?

screwing around trying to diagnose the problem, I realized that
somehow
the LVM names had changed on these particular machines from
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 and LogVol01 to /dev/vg0/root and swap002.
Has
anyone ever seen anything like this and if so, do you know why it
happened?  Thanks!
