All of the data (except for the boot dir which was not in LVM) should be perfectly intact.
I need a live CD which supports LVM (Knoppix 5.* does not) which will mount these volumes.
From there, I can either copy off needed data to another disk or chroot, reinstall some kernel images and set up lilo or grub and be up and running.

That live CD is the key. Which one?
