Well, if you compiled your kernel with raid autodetect support it does
not matter that much where you put it. If your raid is started by some
startup-script you have to put the lvm-stuff after that.

I think it is quite reasonable to initialize LVM quite early, after
the initial mount of the / filesystem. That way you can mount the
filesystems the usal way at startup - using /etc/fstab. If one of your
PV's is a MD, autodetect support is mandatory.

greetings,

Nils
