vgscan gets run from the the initrd so all the information that it writes
to /etc/lvm* and /proc (not sure where it goes exactly) get's lost when
you change root to your logical volume. This way, when you run lilo it
barfs because it can't find the logical volume. You should need to just
run vgscan before you run lilo and hopefully all will be well.
