[Fedora-xen] fc6xen kernel panic after yum update

Hello,
I used yum update on a newly installed dual cpu i386 FC6 system a
couple days ago. My system was updated from Fedora Core
2.6.18-1.2798.fc6xen to 2.6.20-1.2948.fc6xen. The update went fine.
After reboot, I got the following kernel panic:
Scanning logical volumes
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
No volume groups found
Activating logical volumnes
Volume group "vg0" not found
Creating root device.
Mounting root filesystem.
mount: could not fine filesystem '/dev/root'
Setting up other filesystems
Setting up new root fs
setuproot: moving /dev failed: No such file or directory
no fstab.sys, mounting internal defaults
setuproot: error mounting /proc failed: No such file or directory
setuproot: error mounting /sys failed: No such file or directory
Switching to new root and running init.
unmounting old /dev
unmounting old /proc
unmounting old /sys
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
If I'd boot into the original kernel, it booted just fine.
So, today I took a spare system and installed FC6 fresh from
installation disks. The very first thing I did after the installation
was completed was do a yum update. After reboot, the exact same
problem. Both systems don't work with the latest XEN kernel.
For reference, the only packages installed from the graphical
installer were these:
Applications/Editors:
vim-enhanced
Applications/Text-based Internet:
lynx
Base System/Base:
finger
gnupg
man-pages
mdadm
mlocate
nfs-utils
openssh-clients
oopenssh-server
rsync
sudo
telnet
wget
which
yum
Base System/Virtualization:
virt-manager
Since the errors indicate LVM problems, here's info about my disk
layout. I'm configured using two 72GB scsi disks using raid1, then lvm
on top. Disk partitioning:
/dev/sda (72GB)
/dev/sda1 (102MB)
/dev/sda2 (69.9GB)
/dev/sdb (72GB)
/dev/sdb1 (102MB)
/dev/sdb2 (69.9GB)
/dev/sda1 & /dev/sdb1 are mirrored to /dev/md0
used by /boot partition (102MB)
/dev/sda2 & /dev/sdb2 are mirrored to physical volume /dev/md1
used in VolGroup00
/dev/md1 is LVM VolGroup00 and contains these logical volumes
/dev/VolGroup00/lvdom0 (root) 3GB
/dev/VolGroup00/lvswap0 (swap) 4GB
The rest of the space was left empty for xen guest partitions.
I've edited grub.conf to use /dev/mapper vs /dev/VolGroup00, but
nothing has booted with the new kernel.
Is there a problem with the new kernel? Where should I go for a
solution? Should I just run the old kernel for now? If I'm not in the
best forum for this, where should I go for help?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
