I don't really know, but it should not be a big deal. Try it, as I
think you can disable devfs with 'devfs=nomount' or something like that
appending to your kernel boot line.

I don't know this problem, but devfs is obsolated in 2.6, so it worth a
try. As I dislike devfs, never used it, and running LVM1 for years
(later I changed to LVM2 ofcourse). Please note that as soon as you
upgrade your _metadata_, you can't go back to LVM1. It's not a problem
to have only the LVM2 tools installed, they can read your LVM1 vg-s.
Hope this helps,
