Running the command:

Should activate the VG, assuming that all PVs are present (and
any needed modules have been loaded).
I tried running lvm and it says "Locking type 1 initialisation
failed" no matter what command I enter...
Check that the file system providing /var has been mounted and is
writable.
Assuming it's part of / you probably just need to run:
mount -n -oremount,rw /
Ah, that worked! Thank you!
What shall I do to automatically activate this VG during boot?
You need to understand why it wasn't being activated automatically.
Boot logs (dmesg and/or /var/log/messages) would help here. Normally,
devices are scanned for LVM metadata when rc.sysinit runs.
There were some bugs in older releases (f8 is no longer
supported/maintained) where udev would not wait long enough for some
devices to appear, causing these scans to "miss" the VG. That sounds
plausible here since the vgchange -ay worked after the system had
booted but there's not really enough information to say for sure.
Try adding a "sleep 5" or "udevsettle --timeout=30" command to
rc.sysinit above each of the LVM activation commands.

Bryn.
