Nope, I made sure to dismount anything mounted under /mnt/sysimage (inc.
boot/). I have since been able to copy the data by using the SysRescCD
and then using EVMS to simply look at the partitions and then saving out
and mounting /dev/evms/lvm/<vg>/<lv> but after restoring and rebooting
it would kernel panic still thinking that '/' was ext3 despite editing
'/etc/blkid.tab' and '/etc/fstab'.
I am trying now to figure out how to properly use 'chroot /mnt/sysimage'
followed by 'lvcreate_initrd' to write a new boot loaded but despit
double checking that the file name was right Grub still fails to find
the file...
Quite an ordeal but I am making progress, slowly.
Thanks for your reply! Any other tips by chance?
