It's a KnppMyht install. dpkg -l | grep lvm shows:

ii  lvm-common     1.5.8          The Logical Volume Manager for Linux (common
ii  lvm10          1.0.8-2        The Logical Volume Manager for Linux

And lsmod | grep lvm shows:

lvm-mod                46464   3 (autoclean)

I geuss at this point I don't have any serious problems with creating these
links by hand, but I would appreciate soemone who has this workign telling
me exactly what links ot make. I'm thinking that this needs to run _very_
early in the startup sequence, right? Before even anything but the root
disk is mounted.
