Hello!
I'd like to change the name of a volume group that contains the root
partition. I spent some time searching on google for some notes that ,
but to no avail. So i looked at the man page for vgrename and renamed my
volume group. I changed entries in both fstab and grub.conf, but now the
machine wouldn't boot. The machine boots to a point and then i see this
error message:
Freeing unused kernel memory:
Kernel panic: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel.
I suspect that i need to reinstall (reload?) the boot loader (i use grub),
but i don't remember how to do that too..
I'm a bit lost -- could someone tell me what is the proper procedure to
change the name of a volume group, please?
What should i keep in mind if i needed to change the name of a volume
group that contains root?
Any suggestions is very greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much,
/dky
