Those are IDE driver errors.  Judging from the drive devices, you
have quite a few ide controllers.  Did you compile in the drivers
for all of them?  Some of the cards (and even some on-board chipsets)
are NOT supported by default.  In particular, Promise & HiPoint
cards require special kernel compile time options.

What do you see in /proc/ide?

Note that if you compiled the drivers as modules, those modules
MUST be loaded BEFORE lvm is started.
