Hi,

(just to give you flolks some background info)
I made an image of a server(A). It did not work because It did not see /dev/sda.
So I used another cd from indentical sever(B), cd which had work. Then mounted the nfs copy the image over. Server(B) had slightly older version of sles. And its not using lvm.
But point is it had appropriate driver in the image cd.

(Now the real issue)

Now situation is, This new image copied ever thing over.(I can mount it using LIVE CD).
But When I boot up server it wont see vg volume group.

I believe scsi driver is missing.After booting from LIVE CD I chroot in root used yast to add initrd modules, qla2xxx, mptbase, mptscsih(other server(B) had those). Still when I reboot it, it get stuck saying

Code:

No volume groups found
unable to find vloume group
waitnit fot device  /dev/vg1/root    to appear .... not found device nodes:
.....
......

.....

No root device found.  exiting to /bin/sh
sh: cant access tty; job control turned off

I think What I am trying to ask is,

1-I have one installed system.
2-scsi driver is missing.
3-hence It cant see vg.
4-When mounted using LIVE-CD it sees /dev/vg1/root and stuff.

Is there any way to fix it?
