: That is what I thought, but I had an old server using an older MegaRAID and it would not activate the VG hence it would not mount the root volume. I had to resort to non-LVM for the root partition.
When I booted it into rescue mode, it was fine.
Thanks,

What do you mean by "would not activate the VG"?, If it can boot from the same array using regular partitions, LVM should work. At home I have the root on top of LVM on top of MD raid1 running Opensuse 10.3@x86_64. At the office I have root on top of LVM on top of HP SmartArray (cciss driver) running SLES9SP3@{x86_64,i386} and everything works fine. Did you install with / on a LV or tried some kind of migration later?

Agreed, but after the autoyast installation process and during the 1st boot, it stops and spews the the following ...
Attempting manual resume Waiting for device /dev/rootvg/root to appear: .................. not found -- exiting to /bin/sh $
but then when I boot into rescue mode it mounts just fine ...
Any ideas??

Scrutinizing even more I am discovering that it is seemingly not loading the cciss driver on the 1st reboot after the OS installation. Which does not make sense, since that is what was used to install the OS in the first place.
