Hmm.  How can I get logs?  /var is an lvm lv, and since lvm isn't
working nothing can be written to /var/log.  (/usr and /home are also
on lvm, so when I try booting 2.6 all I have is /)  The output I get
from running vgscan interactively is that no volume groups could be
found.  Likewise from pvscan and lvscan.  (if it would make a
difference, I can provide all the output, verbatim, later when I get
back to that machine's console)

-D

PS  Shame on me - I did forget to check /var/log/{messages,syslog} in
    the first place to see if they had any info.
