(but > /dev/gardin does not exist at all) "lvdisplay -m" shows what is in LVM metadata. The LVs just fail to activate in your case (root and swap_1). Since the LVM commands (lvdisplay) are able to read the metadata without any errors, I would assume that *some other software* on your machine openede the needed PVs before LVM did, so LVM is unable to activate the LVs (aka unable to load the mapping tables).
