F17 boot with lvm does not create all the device nodes

[Deron Meranda]

I have an F17 server that will no longer boot.  When entering emergency
mode, it looks like not all of the device file nodes are being created.
 All of the physician volumes and volume groups are okay, but only some of
the logical volumes have their device files created.  In particular the
volume containing my /var filesystem doesn't show up.

When I enter 'lvs', all the logical volumes are listed, and they are
active.  These are all on one physical volume.

If I enter 'vgscan --mknodes' then the missing device files do get created.
 I can subsequently get to all my data (first using cryptsetup to decrypt
the LUKS volume that is stored inside the logical volume, and then mount).

However I can not get the system to continue booting beyond the emergency
mode, and upon the next reboot, again, some of the lvm device files are
missing.

Any ideas?

Thanks
