can't mount Volume Group

[Tony Alfrey]

Hello;

System has 2 SATA drives.  I chainload the second from LILO on the 
first.  That works perfectly.

The second drive sdb has Fedora on it.
sdb1 is a boot partition
sdb2 is a Logical Volume

lvdisplay shows the Volume Group and the Logical Volumes,

The first is Fedora and the second is swap.
But I can't mount the volumes.
I'm betting that

LV Status       NOT available

might be a clue.
Does anyone know how to make it available without corrupting it?
Remember, I can boot it (maybe I am booting the boot partition /dev/sdb1 
and then somehow from there the volumes on sdb2 are mounted).
Thanks!
