Description of problem: After RHN upgrade from kernel-smp-2.6.9-5.EL to kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL, system with root partition under LVM2 does not boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp) lvm2-2.02.06-6.0.RHEL4 kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. system was initially partitioned/formatted/installed with root partition under LVM2 using lvm2-2.00.31-1.0.RHEL4 and kernel-smp-2.6.9-5.EL 2. via RHN, it was upgraded (without any problems) to lvm2-2.02.06-6.0.RHEL4 and kernel-smp-2.6.9-42.0.2.EL 3. system reboot with new kernel results in kernel panic Actual results: System boot normally with old kernel; with new kernel boot aborts with 'kernel panic': Booting 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (2.6.9-42.0.0.ELsmp)' root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.0.ELsmp ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1400, size=0x15f4d2] initrd /initrd-2.6.9.-42.0.2.ELsmp.img [Linux-initrd @ 0x32edc000, 0x113561 bytes] Uncompressing Linux...
