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); 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 i tried ubuntu feisty but the lvm tools are missing; when i tried to
apt-get update 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 read my amd64
filesystems.  So does anyone have any suggestions?  thanks muchly,

matt
