I think you may be able to ignore this one. When rc.sysinit is doing
"Setting up Logical Volume Management", it runs lvm with the
--ignorelockingfailure option (see "man lvm") because everything is
initially mounted read-only and locks can't be set. So although the
error message is generated, booting proceeds as normal.
