Is there a standard boot procedure builder yet? Is libdevmapper needed at boot time as its normal home is in /usr/lib rather than /lib? I then left root as a standard ext2 partition and made some of the basic directories - tmp, usr and var into lvm'd partitions. The system wouldnt recognise vgs at first as /var was only a mount point, I had to create the /var/lock dir for vgscan and vgchange to work. Then the boot script /etc/init.d/lvm2 failed as it uses things like awk which are in /usr/lib I was able to manually go back and mount the missing partitions in maintainance mode so its almost there...
