Here is my grub.conf. I regret that my experience with linux, indeed 
any form of unix, is somewhat limited.  For obvious reasons the lvm 
boot load is not the default.  I have made alterations to rc.sysinit to 
properly call lvm-mod when the kernel loads and to the shutdown 
script to run vgchange -an.  RedHat's provided rc.sysint has a 
dependency on /proc/lvm which cannot be satisfied until after lvm-
mod loads, a rather curious chicken and egg problem.
