  i did, and i saw nothing different in the settings for LVM2 support
so i'm still puzzled.

  i don't think the daily build is going to help me because i'm
explicitly looking for a way to have an up-to-date git tree, get the
default ubuntu config for it, build, and install that new kernel while
preserving the generated "vmlinux" file for debugging purposes.

  i'll dig thru the Kernel/Dev page but if there's a single URL
someone can point me at that does what i described, that would be
terrific.
