Donald, your system seems to be running LVM fine without any other modules loaded and LVM 1.0.5 driver linked into the 2.4.20-pre4 kernel. Did the "cd LVM/PATCHES;make;cd $KERNEL_DIR;patch -p1 TheLVMPatch" run show any problems? Do you say that pvscan etc. even fail when /lib/modules/2.4.20-pre4 is in the module path and *no* modules get loaded at all? Did you ever retry with a clean build "make clean&&make dep&&make bzlilo&&make modules&&make modules_install" and an error free depmod run?
