snip from linux/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
raid= [HW,RAID]
ramdisk= [RAM] Sizes of RAM disks in kilobytes [deprecated].
ramdisk_blocksize=
[RAM]
ramdisk_size= [RAM] New name for the ramdisk parameter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and from the lvm how-to
http://www.sistina.com/lvm_howtos/lvm_howto/Converting_a_root_filesys.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Add an entry in /etc/lilo.conf for LVM
This should look similar to the following:
image = /boot/KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME
label = lvm
root = /dev/vg/root
initrd = /boot/INITRD_IMAGE_NAME
ramdisk = 8192
Where KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME is the name of your LVM enabled kernel,
and INITRD_IMAGE_NAME is the name of the initrd image created by
lvmcreate_initrd. The ramdisk line may need to be increased if you
have a large LVM configuration, but 8192 should suffice for most
users. The default ramdisk size is 4096. If in doubt check the
output from the lvmcreate_initrd command, the line that says:
lvmcreate_initrd -- making loopback file (6189 kB)
and make the ramdisk the size given in brackets.
