I have cloned a RHEL 4 System and am trying to restore it to a different system. All seems to go fine until I start the new system then I get the following errors:
Volume group "VolGroup00" not found
Error: /bin/lvm exited abnormally! (pid 449)
Creating root device
Mounting root filesystem
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
mount: error 2 mounting none
Switching to new root
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed 2
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Thanks for your help.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
"trying to restore it to a different system." -> I believe you have to regenerate the initrd for the restored OS, since it's on different hardware, and the initrd (initramfs actually) does not include the required kernel module to find the root file system.
This is my guess, maybe I am wrong.

I actually did a mkinitrd but was unable to get it to work. So I thought maybe I was missing something.

Does the kernel support the hardware? Especially the device or chipset related to the harddrive.
Steven.
Yes it does.
I know it's hard to troubleshoot long distance, so I really appreciate your thoughts.
Jim
Maybe Clonezilla did not restore all the LV?
Did you watch and check the restoring process carefully?
Steven.
