FC1 -> Rawhide, LVM2 can't lock disks due to LVM1?

I recently upgraded to Rawhide with yum, and I'm running into problems
with my LVM setup.
My /boot is ext3, but everything else, including / is using ext3 over
LVM1. The new kernel (2.6.3-2.1.253.2.1) doesn't seem to find my root
partition, although it did find and activate my volume group. If I try
to mount my root manually, mount complains about an invalid block
device. I can boot using my old kernel (2.4.22-1.2174), though.
I did try to follow the instructions in
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2004-February/msg00208.html
and made the /etc/lvm directory and tried rebooting with the old kernel,
but /sbin/lvm vgscan --mknodes complains that it couldn't lock the drives:
--clip--
[root at nightwatch root]# /sbin/lvm vgscan --mknodes
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
/dev/cdrom: open failed: Read-only file system
/proc/lvm/VGs/disks exists: Is the original LVM driver using this
volume group
?
Can't lock disks: skipping
/proc/lvm/VGs/disks exists: Is the original LVM driver using this

So, how can I disable LVM1 temporarily so LVM2 can access the disks?
