Don't know what you mean by "normal restart". On a Debian Potato 
(stable Version) one have in rcS.d

S05keymaps.sh
S10checkroot.sh
[...]
S20modutils
S30checkfs.sh
[...]

So the lvm-stuff (vgchange -ay) should be done before checkfs.sh :-)

A very simple version of the lvm startup script (Debian: /etc/init.d/lvm) 
may look like
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
case "$1" in
        start|"")
                if [ -x /sbin/vgchange ]
                then
                        /sbin/vgchange -a y
                fi
                ;;
        stop)
                if [ -r /etc/lvmtab -a -x /sbin/vgchange ]
                then
                        /sbin/vgchange -a n
                fi
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
                exit 1
esac

exit 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't forget the x-bit.
