You might try using the trick I used to workaround #186395 in reverse:
Copy /sbin/lvm.static from your FC5 box to somewhere on the RHEL3
partition (don't overwrite the /sbin/lvm.static from RHEL3 though).
Let's say you put it in /root/lvm.static
Then, in RHEL3, try:
/root/lvm.static vgscan
If that seems to work, try:
/root/lvm.static vgchange -ay
