Maybe this was not 2.6.19-7 who solved the problem. Yesterday I have removed the two symlink related to pcmcia and pcmciautils in /etc/rcS.d/ (S13 and S40). Pcmciautils is launched before lvm. I had not tried to boot 2.6.19-6 with that because I had 2.6.19-rc6 vanilla who did boot. So if you could try remove these two symlink and see if it boot. It's just an idea, it is surely not related but beside the update to 2.6.19-7 it is the only modification I've made... as I have removed 2.6.19-6 I can't test to see if either pcmcia was the issue or 2.6.19-6 (and if it is then in my case last update did resolve the problem).
