You can claim not to be a techy type but you're trying to do something 
technical.  So if you don't want to be patient and learn, buy David 
Willson (ok, I'll spell it right this time) a beer.  Or come to 
installfest on the 19th.

David, I wouldn't bother with the RH 9 system.

You have the old version of LVM and I'll bet your drive uses the new 
version.  Getting LVM2 to run on RH9 is probably much more painful than 
it's worth.  So you have three choices.

Boot off Knoppix or another live CD that has LVM 2.  Then the commands 
will probably work.

Install something modern over your RH9 disk.

You're down this road because your drive had boot problems.  They might 
not be that hard to fix if we knew what they were.

There's some chance that you don't have the right module loaded and 
that's causing the problem, but I doubt it.
