Please help: New system with old EVMS+BBR drives ?

Hi people

I have a broken old system with 2x 250GB drives, in raid 1, with BBR on it.
Since the old system was a very trimmed down gentoo I couldn't boot it 
on other hardware, so I tried to recover the drives with a fresh debian 
etch install.

But now I can't get it to work. I compiled my own kernel (2.6.15.7), 
patched it according to the installation instructions, but it ends 
either of 2 ways:
- If I try to activate the volumes I get an error in EVMS, and some 
notices from devicemapper, saying failed to insert target (bbr)
- Or I just can't see any SATA disks at all (system is on a IDE drive so 
that boots fine)

Can anyone tell me which distro/setup still supports EVMS+BBR ?
If not, is there another way (without evms) to recover the data from 
those disks ?  It contains my complete photo collection for almost over 
10 years, and it would be an emotional disaster to loose all those pictures.


I hope someone reads this and maybe can help me.
Thanks in advance :-)

Steven
