Hi,

While I was updating kernel in one of my RHEL 4 boxes, it prompted as 
below and then upon restart, the machine failed to boot up halting at the GRUB prompt. I was able to restore GRUB by "linux rescue" . But still, the system is not able to boot with the new kernel. It says "kernel panic"

Also, while I try to boot the new kernel, it says as below:

Unable to find volume group "disk"
no volume groups found

mount: error 6 mounting ext3 
mount: error 2 mounting none

I tried reinstalling Vmware tools, but of no avail. Also, tried using Buslogic driver for ESX 2.5 (as I couldn't find Buslogic driver for ESX 3.5) and that doesn't work either.

Do you have any clue how to fix this issue ?

Thanks
