Possible version problem
Well
I have a 2.2.20 kernel, (Debian stable), and I have a Debian
package for lvm10 and lvm-common:
lvm10, install version, 1.0.4-4
lvm-common, install version, 1.5.5
I read that, for this early a version, a kernel module must be
installed. However, I see no evidence that
one has been installed. I suspect that the new, (lvm), package may not contain the kernel module necessary to run with the old kernel version. Please confirm.
I assume that the process of installing a package under Debian
automatically installs a kernel
module if a given package requires it and contains it.
I am setting up a MythTV system for home usage, and would like to
gain the benefits of LVM.
Sincerely,
Erich

Linux 2.2 does not have LVM as standard. If you want to use a 2.2 kernel with LVM you will have to patch and build your own kernel from sources. In which case it would be far easier just to get a Debian packaged 2.4 kernel....

No. Debian packages don't automatically install kernel modules because they don't know which kernel you are running.
