Fstab listed also. Any pointers

Hi there guys. I''m using CentOS 5.4, I was able to compile my custom Dom0 kernel and boot it, now I''ve got some doubts.

I've taken my RH7.1 system, rebuild kernel (2.4.9 with ext3 patches) and followed the ext3 instructions to install. Everything seems to work OK but - df -k doesn't list the ext3 partition (my root partition). Is this a known problem ? If not, how best can I gather diagnostics to identify the source of the problem ? Thanks -- Philip Nelson (teamdba@bojnice.com)

I have a CentOS 5 machine in which I'm trying to remove lvm. I dd'ed the file system to another partition, then dd'ed it back overwriting the lvm partition.

I can restore the system back to where it was with lvm, but I'm not sure what
