This box is still sarge.  I just thought I bring it to your attention.

lvm2 2.02.06-4
libdevmapper1.02 2:1.02.05-2.1 through 2:1.02.12-1
dmsetup 2:1.02.05-2.1 through 2:1.02.12-1

lvm2 used to work.  I've kept the box upgraded consistently, but it
hadn't been rebooted in quite a while,  When the power went out and
the box rebooted lvm stopped working.  presumably something lvm
related.
