Yes, i just booted up with EVMS CVS on 2.5.39. Detected all my LVM LV's fine.
After cautious tests with them mounted ro, i then preceded to mount them rw
and continued boot up. Working fine so far. Great work.

All i needed to do was change my vgscan to evms_vgscan and adjust my mount
points to the new style ( /dev/evms/lvm/<vg></<lv> ).
