if you can activate the volume group once the machine is up, it sounds
like there is a problem in the initrd. Perhaps the static binaries
there or the lvm config file it contains...
You turned on logging... When you see "vgs" not found, is that during
bootup, or after?
('vgs' is an LVM command. There could be a script somewhere that is
duplicating the string 'vgs' and inadvertently sending it as an
argument...)
Might need more information for this one... :(
