Yep, LVM does NOT work with 2.6.0.  The on-disk format between LVM 1 & 2
is supposed to be compatible, but 2.6.0-test4 cannot locate the LVM 1
volumes.  Strange.  There must be some bit of glue missing.

Note, this is the 2.6.0-test4 from the RPMs.  

2.6.0-test4 will not compile without errors.

make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
  Building modules, stage 2.
