Hello All,

This is my first post, so if I'm doing something wrong, please let me know.

I've got a problem with my setup somewhere and I'm not sure where the
problem is.  I have autoyast set up to install SLES 9 on LVM.  The
partition table (should) look like this:

/boot - Real partition
swap - Real partition
system - name of the volume group
/ - lv
/opt - lv
/usr - lv
/var - lv
/home - lv

all of the logical volumes are in the system volume group.  Autoyast
installs everything correctly, and seems happy enough, but on reboot
the mapper is unable to find the system volume group, leading to a
kernel panic.

I'm sure this is a quick fix somewhere, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Jon
