Hi
it should be working regarding the tools you are using
can you send the error message
and try
ls /lib/modules
it should give you list of kernel versions you have installed
my case
ls /lib/modules
2.4.10-pre4-xfs 2.4.9-ac7 .....
and lvmcreate_initrd -nomod 2.4.10-pre4-xfs


i'm using linux-2.4.10-pre4-xfs and linux-2.4.9-ac7 with lvm-1.0.1 cvs 
version
but it should be working also with the old tools

and there is no problem with the mandrake kernel and the new version of lvm

I have been told that the newer 1.0.1 version does not or will not work properly with Mandrake for some reason of their policy about versions or something, got me.
