Description of problem: Running RHEL-5.2 with lvm2-2.02.32-1.el5 and lvm2-cluster-2.02.32-1.el5 Installing a new kernel hangs for ever. Investigation shows that mkinitrd is startet but never succeeds. pstree shows that the command lvm.static lvs ... is the cause. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Downgrading to lvm2-2.02.26-3.el5 and lvm2-cluster-2.02.26-1.el5 does not yet fix the problem. But killing (kill -9 clvmd) and starting clvmd anew will make it go away.
There's a distinct possibility that this is the same as bz #435341
Ok, fix from bug 435341 should go to RHEL5.2 too. I'll use this BZ as clone for adding the patch mentioned in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435341#c22
