I downloaded the binaries patch-generator0.91beta7 rpm. i follow the instructions(i.e. ./configure and then make in PATCHES, then a patch -p1 < /xx/xxx/PATCHES/xxxxx.patch) to patch the kernel and everything wents well when i do a make config in the /usr/src/linux, configuring the LVM as a modules.

A log of the exact errors would be nice.

Did you install the new kernel and reboot? It may be possible to get along without rebooting if you are building the kernel modules, but you will definitely need to reboot if LVM is built into the kernel. > Seemingly the LVM module/compilation doesn't work for this kernel. It should work, but RedHat puts a lot of additional patches into their kernels, and it is possible there is a conflict somewhere. Did the patch apply cleanly?
