1 I've never seen this issue, so I may not be the right person to give advice
2 here. But at a glance, it looks like lvm and device-mapper are incompatible
3 or something similar. If I were in your place I would try differrent versions
4 of lvm2, device-mapper and/or kernel.

6 FYI, my configuration works with kernel 2.6.16-r1,
7 device-mapper 1.02.03 and lvm2 2.02.05.
