It looks like you have two partitions labelled /boot
Can you post the output of: # vgdisplay -v # fdisk -l
Paul thanks for your help, here is the output:

Do you have any other disks in this system apart from hda and hdb? I'd say /dev/hda1 is almost certainly the correct /boot partition, but I don't know where the duplicate is.
You should be able to fix things as follows:
1. edit /etc/fstab and change "LABEL=/boot" to "/dev/hda1" 2. fix up the contents of /boot as follows: # mv /boot /boot.current # mkdir /boot # mount /boot # mv /boot.current/* /boot # rmdir /boot.current
If you get an error message at any point, stop and post details of what happened.
Paul.
