is that actually /sbin/lvm ?
- I do not have a /bin/lvm either.

See where your system stands at the moment:
$ rpm -qa \*kernel\* \*nv\* lvm2 readline|sort
list the most recent updates:
# tail --lines=200 /var/log/yum.log
verify the some package installs:
$ rpm -V kernel readline lvm2
fdisk -l
mount
cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
blkid
You might like to paste any big results to a pastebin, and post the link
here instead ( ).
