An update to the problem:
I finally reinstalled RH8 and made the following adjustments:
-pulled / out of LVM and put in its own partition
-increased both the size of / (5G) and /usr (15G)
An 'everything' installation went fine this time with the only
problem being it was trying to run kudzu on the first reboot and when
it came up I had no mouse or keyboard so I rebooted and everything was
fine after that and so I finished the Setup config and Linux went to
the first login screen. Once logged in I went to a terminal window and
ran pvdisplay and vgscan and received the exact same response as after
the first installation:
+ /sbin/pvdisplay
pvdisplay -- ERROR: "/etc/lvmtab" doesn't exist; please run vgscan
+ /sbin/vgscan
vgscan -- LVM driver/module not loaded?
So my question is what should I do to verify the state of LVM on the
system?

Gerry Reno

I checked the /var/log/boot.log and vgscan was working fine during
bootup so I thought about it for a second and realized that these
commands must require being run as 'root'. So I did a 'su -' and tried
both commands and they worked fine. I didn't see any mention of this
in the man pages and the errors that were thrown were rather cryptic.
My preference is that commands requiring certain user or authority
should either work completely or not work at all and provide the user
with a good hint as to why.
