2.6.19 kernel won't boot due to "VolGroup00" not found

[Ed Hourigan]

I was able to eventually fix this problem.
Here is what I did

1) Did not use the kernel config file from the previous kernel (.config).
    Using make oldconfig may have been the problem
    Instead, I did this:
    make clean
    make mrproper
    make menuconfig
       select only the options I need
       save config
2) ran:
    make
    make modules_install
    make install
       ( NOTE: be sure to use 'make install' as it seems to create the
proper initrd file )

    I was not using 'make install' before.  I think this may have been the
actual fix as
    it seems to setup the initial ram disk properly.
