Your June version did not use devfs and now Mandrake does. It means that
partition names have changed - instead of hda4 and like you get
ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4. Look into /proc/partitions.
If vgscan does not find them it means you do not mount devfs and new
names do not exist.

No. Add devfs=mount to kernel options and reboot.. Or recompile kernel
without devfs.
