Upgraded Motherboard/Processor/RAM and now I get "No volume groups found" on boot up

Asked by itcdr in Linux Setup

Tags: volume, groups, found

I just installed a new motherboard and processor (AMD 2.0ghz 64 bit).  I did have an intel 2.0ghz 32 bit processor. Anyway, after I installed the new motherboard, processor, and extra ram stick I got the following errors on boot-up.

Uncompressing Linux ... OK, booting the kernel
Red Hat nash version 4.2.15 starting
   Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while ...
   No volume groups found
   Unable to find volume group "VolGroup00"
ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally with value 5 (pid 469)
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!:2
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 1
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 2
switchroot: mount failed:22
kernel panic - not syncing : attempted to kill init!

Once it gets to this point the system just freezes and I can't do anything. Is it because I still have the 32 bit version of linux (i386 Fedora Core 4) installed? How can I fix this problem? I still have a lot of information on the hard drive with the OS that I need. What should I do?
