Yes excellent - this worked for me with the 2.4.20 kernel

ln -sf /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux

and lvm2 tools will now compile without the "device/dev-io.c:215: `BLKGETSIZE64'"
error.

Thanks very much, now back to seeing if LVM2 will help me recover my 2 remaining
LV from a a 4xLV VG.
