[Tfug] Mount disk from old system

[Jim Secan]

Here's the relevant output from /var/log/messages (rather than dmesg),
output from "fdisk -l", and output from pvs.  Not being knowledgeable
about LVM, I assume the problem is likely that /dev/sda2 (internal drive)
and /dev/sdc2 (old internal drive, now attached via USB) have the same VG
name.  If this is indeed the problem (and not, I'm hoping, that the
partition is hosed), how do I go about fixing the problem so I can mount
that partition?
