You let him off without fixing your LVM problem?  No wonder he likes you ;-)

2.6.24 is plenty good.

So this part worked.

To answer this do "lsmod | grep dm_mod".  If you don't get any output 
try "modprobe dm_mod".  Then try the vgscan/vgchange commands again.

If vgchange works after loading the module you should find the things 
you can mount in /dev/mapper.
