The reboot give me a panic, but without enough information as to why.
Unable to mount root device? [..] But the root is on the LVM The reason I asked about initrd was not about how it was made up. the cpio/compress, (I knew about that and had peeked) but whether it would dynamically redefine /deb/boot since the entry in fstab and in the grub.lst was /deb/mapper/vgmain-NewRoot [..] I conclude that the system in the initrd does NOT redefine root according to the 'command line' of grub.lst but there is still more going on.
As Per already told you: you need the LVM/DM stuff in your initrd! So, add whatever dm-* modules you need for your stuff to the variable INITRD_MODULES="..." in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and run mkinitrd. Only then can / be mounted from the initrd as the new root and consequently switched to it. -dnh -- Boy, you can find /everything/ on CPAN now. Modules for moving countries? Cool.
