    LVM doesn't work with 2.6.9-mm1 here either, complaining that it
can't find all the pv's. I'm not using any sort of encryption. Here,
pvdisplay reports:

  --- Physical volume ---
  PV Name               /dev/hda2
  VG Name               home
  PV Size               24.52 GB / not usable 0   
  Allocatable           yes (but full)
  PE Size (KByte)       4096
  Total PE              6277
  Free PE               0
  Allocated PE          6277
  PV UUID               M8tcls-7Tp7-sAYe-ypH3-if50-00JH-hvvXSL
   
  --- Physical volume ---

    I can open the device nodes for the 'missing' pv's in a hexeditor and see the
uuid magic; if I reboot into 2.6.9-rc4-mm1 they are found without a
problem, and everything works.

    Whether or not I'll have time to try to narrow down the change
that causes this depends on things that are out of my control ATM. :-/
