Description Ian.Goodacre 2009-06-23 03:58:46 UTC 
Description of problem:

incorrect description of kernel arguments

 
Actual results:

This tells us that the kernel is mounted read-only (signified by (ro)), located on the first logical volume (LogVol00) of the first volume group (/dev/VolGroup00). LogVol00 is the equivalent of a disk partition in a non-LVM system (Logical Volume Management), just as /dev/VolGroup00 is similar in concept to /dev/hda1, but much more extensible. 

Expected results:

This tells us that the root file system is mounted read-only at boot time (signified by (ro)), located on the first logical volume (LogVol00) of the first volume group (/dev/VolGroup00). LogVol00 is the equivalent of a disk partition in a non-LVM system (Logical Volume Management), just as VolGroup00 is similar in concept to a physical disk drive, but much more extensible.
