Mounting LVM2 volumes.

After a failed stage1 installation, I am trying to check some settings in my kernel. So I boot off the live cd and mount my root partition, boot partition and activate my swap partition.

When I try to mount my LVM2 volumes, I get an error saying the device doesn't exist.

'vgscan' tells me the volume group exists.
If I try to recreate the logical volume using 'lvcreate', I am told that the logical volume already exists, but when I try to mount the logical volume, I am told that it doesn't exist.

The logical volumes that I have are:
/home
/opt
/tmp
/usr
/var

Anyone have an idea how I can mount the logical volumes???
