Shalom,

Looks like you tried a kernel only upgrade and the rest of the OS won't work with this kernel.

You may wish to yum or up2date this system, or try a different kernel version.

is your VolGroup00 devices from SAN? or inernal disks?

As the error says no LVs got active with the VG.

Go to rescue mode using the RHEL installation CD with the boot option:

linux rescue

if vg00 not getting mounted automaically.

2.Try to activate the volume groups by running the commands below:

lvmdiskscan
vgchange -ay

3. try mounting all the LVs.

"is your VolGroup00 devices from SAN? or inernal disks? "

VolGroup00 is internal disks

What is the root cause for this case?

Thanks
