It seems to me you now have BLK_DEV_DM in your kernel.
I've seen this on many systems with lvm. I always thought it was normal
and I just ignored them. But I do have some systems that have lvm that
don't show those errors. What partition support do you have in your new
kernel?

Hello,
After a recent sync and new kernel built, I get these messages from
fdisk -l that did not use to get before. Searching the web, it appears
that fdisk is listing my LVM partitions. Why is it doing now? It has
never done it before.
Thanks,

Don't know if it's involved but the recent updates warned about
changes in how /dev is handled. I'd suggest going back to those
messages and making sure the warnings were comprehended.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Why are you using fdisk on a logical volume? To my knowledge (which of
course may be outdated/wrong) an LV doesn't contain a partition table so
looking for it with fdisk -l shouldn't give you any valid data. Use lvs
or lvdisplay instead. If you wish to manipulate the underlying partition
table (the "physical volumes") then you can use fdisk...
Best regards

He's not doing on a physical volume, they just happen to show up. He's
just using "fdisk -l" to generally see what volumes are out there.

Ah, ok. Misunderstanding from my side...
