I run LVM on a non-AC 2.4.17 Kernel without problems so somehow it must be related to the -ac hacks. >> How can I patch a standard kernel for both -ac and LVM ?

Just to make sure I understand correctly: Is "RH patches" and "AC patches" the same thing? How can I apply RH patches if some of them fail?
