vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?

I am only monitoring this mailing, but now i have a few question. after I did a patch kernel with lvm 1.0.1-rc4, and compile and build with rpm, the kernel config like:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM=y
CONFIG_LVM_PROC_FS=y

succeed. but when i try following INSTALL file and vgscan result said vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?

why the vgscan said that, I did compile lvm not be module, any explanation. and how to fix it?

thanks.

You will pass away very quickly.

This option disappeared about 9 months ago. Are you sure you patched the kernel correctly ?

You teach best what you most need to learn.

This is an extra patch that you only need if you're using reiserfs with snapshots. Read the README in PATCHES for instructions on how to generate the real patch, which should be called something like lvm-1.0.1-rc-2.4.9.patch

Sorry, I am lvm newbie.

Don't relax!  It's only your tension that's holding you together.

have you read the INSTALL and README's

in your case go to /tmp/LVM/1.0.1-rc4
run " ./configure "
go to /tmp/LVM/1.0.1-rc4/PATCHES
run " make "
" ls "
you have it
