Herbert, can I get you to comment on this.  What happens is this:
debian-installer uses devfs, we create some LVM devices and they show
up in /dev/.  Then, we install the base system into /target, chroot in
there to install the kernel.  This fails because the LVM devices don't
exist in the chroot.  So I thought we should just install lvm1 or lvm2
before installing the kernel, but this fails with "VGDA in kernel and
lvmtag are NOT consistent".

Any idea?
