If the boot process mentions lvm, you indeed have lvm somewhere. You can
verify that with “fdisk -l” and “blkid”.
Or, you have a bad entry in fstab.

Well, we do want to see here that output, not that you say that they are
normal. Please paste the output of “fdisk -l” here as requested.

You trimmed the most important information - device name. So the only thing we know that it expected some device to appear but device was not present. Please provide exact name of device. Otherwise there is no way to verify that your /etc/fstab is indeed correct.
I have checked the filesystem even no use and even I have reinstalled the grub from
no use.
This suggests that you can log into the system. Is it correct? Then you could collect some more logs that may help.

Actually I have done all the above process in rescue mode and copied the output of commands to files using redirection and copied these files to windows system using ext2explore software and after that I have pasted the contents of these files to forums.

While booting the OS from harddisk these messages appeared and I have wrote down them in paper and later typed into forum.
Finally what I am trying to say is that I am unable to boot into my system.
Whilst looking for a problem with grub I saw this thread and a bell rang.
Following the purchase of a new disk OpenSuse 13.1 was loaded. There were one or two minor problems during which I saw messages about LVM2. I have never used lvm on any Linux installation during my 10 years of use. At the time I ignored this but now have been prompted to have another look. When I look at /var/log/boot.log the latest boot (and previous ones) includes:

My conclusion is that it may be that this message which is appearing is of no consequence and that the originator’s problem has nothing to do with any lvm messages but elsewhere.
It would be interesting to know if any of the other participants in this thread get similar messages in their boot log files.
Yes when I issue the command ***rpm -qa | grep lvm ***it is showing lvm package has been installed and also I have seen the directory /etc/lvm and its contents like lvm.conf.
It could be these two services:
lvm2-activation-early.service lvm2-activation.service
Sir I think that these two services are the main causes to the issue in my case so can you please suggest the procedure to disable the above services in detail because I am new to Linux and if I do anything without knowledge it could destroy my system completely.

Wrong.
Please do as arvidjaar asked you nine hours ago.
