Booting with LVM2 is much too slow

[Neal Becker]

Now that I'm testing with lvm2, there is one thing that must be fixed before
release.  During boot, it says, "activating logical volumes", or something
like that (not logged to dmesg), and then ***sits there for a good 5
minutes with no user feedback that it is even alive***.

OK, so exactly why did I install a journalling filesystem?

Seriously, I hope it's only like this due to some debugging and it won't act
this way when released.
