Well, all I did was follow the install instructions that came with the LVM
tarball to create the patch.  I didn't do anything special.  I wasn't able
to successfully install the newly created patch until I replaced the
kernel source with a fresh "clean" rpm.

Are you running the 2.4 kernel or are you using 2.2?  That makes a big
difference as you need to add the raw.io patch to the 2.2 kernel.  Also, I
don't believe that the shipped RH kernel config enables LVM as a default.

I still have the patch for 2.4.3-12.  However, I doubt it would work for a
7.0 install since I'm using 7.1.
