It's quite hard for lvmcreate_initrd to know just which modules are needed to get the system booted, though I suppose it's possible. It is recommended that you build the kernel with the drivers needed to mount the root partition compiled in, rather than as modules. I realise this goes against the Red Hat methodology of having everything as a module. patrick
