Thanks for your response,

    I updated my kernel to 2.6.10 and I upgraded to lvm2 2.00.32.  I 
also switched from using the old dev file system to the new udev file 
system to see if would have any impact.   Otherwise the setup is the 
same as in my original post.   Now when I try to mount with write 
permission, the system reboots instead of freezing.  I can still mount 
read only.  I'm still not getting error messages unfortunately.  Is 
there things I can turn on that will be more verbose when errors like 
this occur?
