Hi All,
I have just done a reinstall of Centos 5.3 on a dedicated server (via a KVM). My partition arrangement was the default presented to me by the installer:
100Mb /dev/sda1 for /boot
460Gb /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 for /
As you can see, I'm using LVM for everything other than /boot (I need to use LVM for an app I am testing).
On reboot, I get the following:
[quote]
Booting 'CentOS (2.6.18-128.el5)'
root (hd0,0)
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
Error 15: File not found
Press any key to continue...

It looks like it can't find vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 in /boot.
I have rebooted using the Centos Install Disk 1 and gone in to rescue mode. Rescue mode mounted my / under /mnt/sysimage, from there I could see that /boot had been mounted from /dev/sda1 as it should be.
However, there was no initrd.image or /vmlinuz-2.6.18-128.el5 under /boot or /boot/grub. Shouldn't the CentOS installer have created these?
Is there anyway I can recover this installation?
All help is very gratefully received.
Regards
Al

Re: Error 15: File not Found after fresh install of Centos 5.3 with LVM
Did the installation appear to finish successfully, without errors? The missing files would be typical for an install that failed to complete. Anything in the log files left in /root? Any other devices on the system besides /dev/sda? Is RAID involved?
