It's highly unlikely you lost data, as the upgrade would not have
changed the on-disk metadata. If all else fails, you could boot off an
LVM-enabled LiveCD and you'll find all your volumes present. But first
we need to find out what's going on (my machine uses baselayout-2 and
openrc & my lvm volumes were unaffected.

What output do you get from
pvscan
vgscan
lvscan
vgchange -a y

and what's in the various logs regarding lvm startup?
