rescue cd for amd64/lvm?

[Matt Price]

hi,

my system has somehow gotten hosed (i suspect my son pulling the plug
had something to do with it, but it could just be a bug in ubuntu
feisty); the boot process stalls when it gets to mounting the root
filesystem, which is an lvm filesystem.  i would like to boot into a cd
environment and chroot into the old filesystem, but am having trouble
finding an amd64 rescue cd on which lvm actually works. i tried ubuntu
feisty but the lvm tools are missing from the live cd; when i tried to
apt-get install them the operation was successful, but i got an error
about "no lvscan found for the version of LVM on your computer" -- i
don't know whether that perhaps has something to do with the kernel or
some such.  And i386 images can't run any of the 64-bit binaries from
the old system (at least, i haven't been able to make this work).  So
does anyone have any suggestions? thanks muchly,

matt
