Have you actually used mandrake 8.0 already?

Unless you have some good reason to do so, ie not mere
upgrade-fever, stay with 7.2

Believe me... 8.0 is still "cooker" they just *had* to
release it for wider testing...

But LVM-wise, I havn't a clue that would help you do the upgrade.
However, I did try going from 7.1 to 7.2 and it broke BADLY!

Best bet is to reinstall not upgrade.
