This sounded like a great idea and I had hoped it to solve my problem. 
Unfortunately it didn't work and I am still getting the same error 
message after restarting the system
     Red Hat nash version 4.2.15 starting
      Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while ...
      No volume groups found
      Unable to find volume group "VolGroup00"

Is there anything else I could possibly try?
Is there still a chance the postinstall/preuninstall might work instead?
