Have you searched the forums?  I'm not sure but I think I ran across
that issue while searching for the other issues you described, missing
lock file.  There was a fix for what you are having but I can't recall
what it was off the top of my head.  I think it was putting
device-mapper in the boot runlevel but don't break things on my bad
memory.  :/

I'm also pretty sure I was using google to search the forums too.  I
have found that google does a MUCH better job with searches than the
forums search tool.
