I used to use EVMS under Etch, but haven't upgraded that box yet (I'm
trying to obsolete it).
Are the partitions Native EVMS or are they normal partitions accessed
through the /dev/evms/ mount points?
Have you tried booting the system using the lenny install media and
selecting rescue mode to see if the partitions can still be accessed
without changing your system?
