Nope, I made sure to dismount anything mounted under /mnt/sysimage (inc. boot/). I have since been able to copy the data by using the SysRescCD and then using EVMS to simply look at the partitions and then saving out and mounting /dev/evms/lvm// but after restoring and rebooting it would kernel panic still thinking that '/' was ext3 despite editing '/etc/blkid.tab' and '/etc/fstab'. I am trying now to figure out how to properly use 'chroot /mnt/sysimage' followed by 'lvcreate_initrd' to write a new boot loaded but despit double checking that the file name was right Grub still fails to find the file... Quite an ordeal but I am making progress, slowly. Thanks for your reply! Any other tips by chance? Madison PS - For the archives, this is a Fedora Core 1 install.
