booting from LVM2 in 2.6.10

[Ganga Varatharajan]

I went back and started again...

This time I copied the i686 config file from BUILD/.../config/ to 
BUILD/kernel*/linu*/.config. Then ran make oldconfig. This preserved the 
'standard' FC3 distribution module config and gave me a chance to add the 
new DVB devices.

The kernel built with the default config + my devices works.
