Probably not relevant, but it is of interest to me what sort of problems
you had.  I assume you have patched the kernel with the online ext2
kernel patches and also enabled CONFIG_EXT2_RESIZE?  You should not have
any problems resizing root.

Expected behaviour with new tools (compatibility reasons).  However, it
_does_ indicate that you do not have beta7 LVM kernel code.

Do you run "vgchange -a y" (and optionally vgscan) in startup scripts?
There is a "LVM root howto" somewhere on the Sistina site.
