I have 2 hard disks, only one of them is used in a volume group. I have 4 logical volumes in the group, /, /usr, /home and swap. Everything was wonrkinbg fine until I decided to upgrade my system through yum. I used the development releases since I wanted gnome 2.8. I did not update everything; instead I just updated selective gnome packages. After rebooting my system refuses to come up. It says something like Uncompressing Linux .... ... Reading all physical volumes. This can take a while ... Found Volume Group "Vol0". metadata lvm2 4 logical Volumes in volume group "Vol0" now active Restarting System I can use the fedora rescue disk and mount all the volumes without any problem. I did notice that when I was restarting, my systems showed errors when disabling swap (swapoff), but it went by too fast for me to write down the exact error. Something about /dev/mapper/LV03 not found. Any ideas on what is causing this and how I can fix it. Thanks, Pratik.
