Nope, you need to upgrade the tools *and* the kernel in parallel because the interface between the driver and the user tools has been changed.

Assuming that you donÄt have root on an LV, please remember to have a lilo configuration which enables you to boot
the old kernel *and* a copy of /sbin/e2fsadm, /sbin/[lp]v*, /sbin/vg* plus /lib/*lvm* online in order to recover in case of problems. Copy those files to a /sbin and a /lib subdirectory, so that you can access them in single user mode.

Because this is a major upgrade, please take backups of your data including the LVM metadata backups in /etc/lvmconf/* !
