Hi!

I need to migrate to new notebook hard-disk.

My steps:

1) booted FC4 install CD and created LVM structures with anaconda
	100MB boot ext3 partision 
	100GB LVM partition named "PFNOTES"
		4GB logical volume for swap named "SWAP"
		96GB logical volume for root filesystem named "ROOT"	
2) reformated root parition with reiserfs (/dev/PFNOTES/ROOT)
3) copied old boot and root filesystem to new disk with: cp -ax
4) edited NEW_ROOT/etc/fstab
-----------------------------------
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/PFNOTES/ROOT       /                       reiser  defaults    1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults
1 2
/dev/devpts             /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620
0 0
/dev/shm                /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults
0 0
/dev/proc               /proc                   proc    defaults
0 0
/dev/sys                /sys                    sysfs   defaults
0 0
/dev/PFNOTES/SWAP       swap                    swap    defaults
0 0
/dev/hdb                /media/cdrecorder       auto
pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
-----------------------------------

5) edited NEW_BOOT/grub/grub.conf
-----------------------------------
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
password --md5 $1$E.NaSZHj$t9d9ohA.NZvrnF0oUuM3R.
title Fedora Core (2.6.14-1.1644_FC4)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4 ro root=/dev/PFNOTES/ROOT rhgb
quiet reboot=b
        initrd /initrd-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4.img
-----------------------------------

6) unplugged old disk and rebooted - on reboot, error occurs - boot
process was trying to find the old volume group (VolGroup00)

See this screenshot:

What is wrong? Any other config files need to be edited (not only
grub.conf and fstab)? Thanks very much, pf
