Re: [linux-lvm] Can't use LVM1 VG/LVs under LVM2; LV xxx: inconsistent LE count 32 != 64

[Jesse Molina <jesse@opendreams.net>]

This is confirmed as fixed.  Thanks David and Bryn for the referral to 
the fix!

I am surprised that this bug survived in the wild for so long.  I had 
unsuccessfully tried to upgrade this system several times in the last 
two years.  I had previously thought it was the funky Promise ATA 
controller in this host.

Thanks for the help.  I'll be closing Debian bug #422963 here soon.

However, I'll have to force the install, as 2.4 kernels are completely dead on Debian Unstable now, due to recent versions of libc6 requiring NPTL.  Hopefully I won't get into a critical dependency problem.
