You could try booting the life CD, mount anything like it should and
chroot to the installation. Then you can check out versions of
baselayout and the LVM packages and the too now one downgrade (or
upgrade the too old one, but it probably means getting into
baselayout-2, if you want it).

I hope it helps.
