First things first. Is there a FAQ for this group?

Now then, I'm running Fedore Core/1 (Red Hat 9) with LVM 1.0.3-13 (or at
least RPM says it's 1.0.3). I have a single volume group containing a single
disk. While /boot is NOT in the volume group (for obvious reasons),
everything else, include / is. / is a ext3 filesystem.

I recently used vgrename to rename the volume group (from rootvol to rootvg
-- just a test to learn some more), and it seemed to succeed. I was able to
run afterwards with no problems. On the first reboot after this, though, my
system can no longer boot. Here's a rough transscription of what's going on:

...kernel booting/initializing...

group

Mounting root filesystem

Freeing unused kernel memory: 136k freed
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.


I'd be happy to provide more info if it would help anyone. (grub.conf,
fstab,
etc.)

Cheers,
