Bug#351679: lvm2: vgchange doesn't find volumes

[Andreas Bombe]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.02-1
Followup-For: Bug #351679

I have the same problem in that an initrd created (by mkinitramfs) with
the current lvm2 installed will not be able to mount the real root and
drop into a shell.  There I can run 'vgchange -a y' and see that it
finds no volumes.

I had to revert to a 2.6.14 kernel (with an old initrd) to be able to
boot.  The LVM volumes are in the version 1 format.
