I didn't think that booting from an LVM device was supported, whether
it's sitting on an md raid device or not.  How is the bootloader meant
to find the kernel and initrd without first constructing the VG and
mounting the /boot Logical Volume.  It's been quite a while since I
looked (we get into the habit of doing things the same way) but last
time I checked this didn't work.
