The stock linux kernel comes with an old version of lvm. Please grab
the latest version and make sure to patch your kernel (see
PATCHES/README in the lvm distribution). You should also upgrade your
userspace tools (lvcreate, vgextend and the like).

On a further note, check which compiler you are using. gcc-2.96 should
be used without optimization (-O0) and make sure you do not use
gcc-3.0.x (it produces broken code on some occasions, this happened to
me with the lvm tools).

good luck,

Nils
