fwiw,
Im pleased to report success using linux-2.4.10, LVM-1.0.1-rc2,
and this patch: http://incandescent.mp3revolution.net/lvm/inline_fix.diff
on a basically stock RH-7.1 installation.
I made 1 minor patch to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, probably theres a better
way..
+ # LVM initialization
+ action "loading LVM:" /sbin/insmod lvm-mod
if [ -e /proc/lvm -a -x /sbin/vgchange -a -f /etc/lvmtab ]; then
action $"Setting up LVM:" /sbin/vgscan && /sbin/vgchange -a y
fi
and possibly a couple manual edits to lvm-*.c;
min(z,x,y) -> min(x,y), max() too
so now, bootup works, and shows results as follows

the only hitch I had configing was using lvrename, vgrename;
IIRC. I had to mv the /dev/_vgb special files myself,
causing a couple of fstab-umount-reboot-to-single
sessions to clean up errs. I used the 2nd cmd-form,
"vgrename vg02 my_volume_group", if that matters.
Perhaps a FAQ entry explaining what I may have mis-understood:
{lv,vg} rename dont change names of /dev/ special-files,
nor corresponding entries in /etc/fstab. You must manually edit your mount
points.
looking forward, I plan to fix the problem with 99% on /home
thanks for great software.
