OK, the plot grows thicker! I installed the lvm2 package. 2.4.22 still
works fine (thankfully!). Now, during the bootup of the 2.6.5 kernel, I
get:

Setting up LVM Volume Groups...
        Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
        Found volume group "vg00" using metadata type lvm1
        Internal error: unknown device-mapper task 15
        Internal error: unknown device-mapper task 15

At this point, it hangs and requires a <ctrl>-c to move on and continue
booting.

I have done a google and it doesn't turn anything up with that error :(
Any more ideas?

Thanks,
Andrew
