Yeah, boot from rescue disk and rename the first one it sees, should then let 
the other be visible. You could, at a pinch, change the partition type of the 
PVs of the "visible" volume group, which should lead to the "hidden" one 
appearing, although you might have to delete the "metadata cache" as mentioned 
earlier in the thread.
