I suspect this _might_ have something to do with the mix/max changes in 2.4.10pre9.
In 2.4.10pre Linus changed min/max to use three args - he had good reasons to do
this.  It created lots of flack.  After days (weeks?) of debate a two arg version he 
accepted was found.  Meanwhile the rest of the kernel (and patches like LVM) had
adpated to the three arg mix/max.  

The jist of the above it to look at the LVM patch generated for 2.4.10pre9 and
change and lines begining with "+" that contain "min(" or "max(" to "min_t(" or 
"max_t(" respectivily.

Suspect then it will work - I am testing this here now.
