thank you Heinz for responing.
I booted my machine and tried
cat /proc/partitions
and it shows:
major minor #blocks name
34 0 78177792 ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/disc
34 1 1536160 ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/part1
34 2 76641264 ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/part2
33 0 78177792 ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
33 1 51376 ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
33 2 1536192 ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
33 3 9216144 ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
33 4 67373712 ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
3 64 197858 hdb
In my opionion the strange thing is, that after only a reboot everything stoped working, right?
bye

No, this looks like a strange /proc/partitions problem (LVM tries to retrieve
device pathes from there and obviously fails on that).
Does "cat /proc/partitions" show any strangenesses ?
