Hi I've done something rather silly.
I've been experimenting with LVM on my laptop to be able to install several systems with the flexibility to adjust sizes. I named the VG 'alpha' and the LVs a, b, c and d. /boot is a real partition, a = /, b = /usr, c = /var and d = /tmp and all has been working fine for a while now. I was planning to adjust the sizes of /usr (too small) and /var (too big) prior to setting up another system. I had the bright idea of renaming a,b,c and d to root, usr, var and tmp respectively thinking it would be easier to tell what was what once I had more systems on the box. using lvm lvrename, I renamed all the LVs and changed the entries in /etc/fstab to reflect the new names, rebooted and it hangs because it can't find the / partition. I suspect that there is somewhere else that I have to change the name in a conf file but I can't find where. I can mount the root partition when in another system and so I know it's there and I've checked the fstab which seems correct. Any ideas anyone?
