Progress! Many thanks Mark for that new initrd, but unfortunately it didn't like it:
RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0. VFS: Cannot open root device "VolGroup00/LogVol00" or unknown-block(0,0) Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0) Peter's suggestion to change /etc/modprobe.conf though does result in a system I can ipl at last, albeit it comes up without the new logical volume mounted. To fix that do I just need to mount it and run mkinird/zipl once more? And is the rescue disk a good place to try and expand the file system for root from? Any guidance on how to do that safely would be much appreciated.
