Red Hat 5.5 live backup/restore

Hello,

I'm trying to take a live backup of a red hat 5.5 64 bit server (with LVM).
Afterwards I want to restore this backup on an empty server, so basicly I want to dublicate the server.
But when I boot the server after the restore, I get stuck at "GRUB _" and changing the menu.lst-file doesn't appear to work

I found the method I used, described here: "http://www.backupcentral.com/wiki/index.php/Linux_%26_Windows_Bare_Metal_Recovery"
But as they mention somewhere on the website, it is apparently only for servers without LVM, which is probably the reason why it doesn't work... or isn't it?

Can anyone help me with this? And otherwise propose me another solution?

Thank you,

Matthias

vconsole.conf

VCONSOLE.CONF(5)                                                   vconsole.conf                                                  VCONSOLE.CONF(5)

NAME

       vconsole.conf - configuration file for the virtual console

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/vconsole.conf

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/vconsole.conf file configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font.

       The basic file format of the vconsole.conf is a newline-separated list environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
       possible to source the configuration from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell features are supported,
       allowing applications to read the file without implementing a shell compatible execution engine.

       Note that the kernel command line options vconsole.keymap=, vconsole.keymap.toggle=, vconsole.font=, vconsole.font.map=,
       vconsole.font.unimap= may be used to override the console settings at boot.

       Depending on the operating system other configuration files might be checked for configuration of the virtual console as well, however only
       as fallback.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       KEYMAP=, KEYMAP_TOGGLE=
           Configures the key mapping table of for they keyboard.  KEYMAP= defaults to us if not set. The KEYMAP_TOGGLE= can be used to configured
           a second toggle keymap and is by default unset.

       FONT=, FONT_MAP=, FONT_UNIMAP=
           Configures the console font, the console map and the unicode font map.  FONT= defaults to latarcyrheb-sun16.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. German keyboard and console

       /etc/vconsole.conf:

           KEYMAP=de-latin1
           FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
