hi guys,
this is my third install of FCR4 final in two days, (third machine, a dell latitude X300,
more than a year old so not exactly brand new chipset etc...)
the install went fine, no issues at all using the same cd's as i used on the other
boxes. However after booting into grub, i get a kernel panic
the errors appear like this
Uncompressing Linux... ok, booting the kernel.
Red Hat nash version 4.2.15 starting
reading all physical volumes. this may take a while...
No volume groups found.
Unable to find volume group "VolGroup00"
Error: /bin/lvm exited abnormally with value 5 ! (pid 418)
and goes on ending with a kernel panic.
so, in disbelief i booted from cd1, and did linux rescue,
that goes fine until finally it tells me it cant find any linux partitions, so i cannot go
in and look at grub or anything.
does anyone have any ideas about this ? is it a known bug ? the only reference i found to
it (similar issue) was here

i'd appreciate your thoughts,
cheers
