However, I since I was smart enough to stuff a backup copy of the utilities into /root/lvm10.tar, 2.5.47 with the devicemapper patch (so that it compiles properly) booted up just fine, first try. Of course, I needed to remember to load the "mousedev" module before X would work, but that's not a kernel issue. I'm fairly impressed with 2.5.x so far (once it compiled properly!).
