[linux-lvm] lvm 0.9 kernel build problems

[Jay Weber]

I had the same errors in past when compiling it on 2.2.18pre kernels.
I believe my problem was that my /usr/src/linux didn't point back to the
proper kernel source tree.  It was a while ago though, but I'm thinking
that solved it for me.  I believe one of the files included in lvm.c is a
<linux/*whatever*> and that didn't exist or have the proper struct or
such.
