Now I get it. I rebooted on the 2.6 kernel, but as I didn't have a /etc/lvm
directory at that time, nor did I reboot again after creating it, none of
the "LVM2 initialization" stuff got done at boot.

Thanks a lot for the detailed and informative info. It almost makes me want
to try again my attempt of a root-on-LVM2-on-software-RAID... but as I now
have "just" a software RAID1 (on SATA drives) working perfectly with grub
on both disks, I think I'll pass :-/
