You need to apply sone patches. Some bits have obviously been missed
in the kernel merge and the v0.8 "final" version introduced a few minor
issues as well.
My patch patch-2.3.47-lvm-2 you should fix the kernel build problems.

In addition, you need to ge the matching usermode tools . If youare
on glibc 2.1 you may need to apply my patch patch-lvm_0.8final which
includes the changes which were required for me to build the user mode
tools.

Patches are available at:
ftp://linux.msede.com/lvm/v0.8final/

Please have a look at the README file for any recent notes.


Hope this helps
Michael
