Hi,

A very strange problem, after the RHEL4 update 3 kickstart install from
an http server. When the system comes up after the install it is not
able to mount the LVMs. A little investigation tells that the
directory /dev/vg_root does not exists. Following is my kickstart file,
perhaps something obviously wrong there. System is DL585 G2.
