I believe your problem is that you need an initrd that includes LVM stuff. Try the command "lvmcreate_initrd", then ensure that the new lvm_initrd file is loaded with lilo (I use grub so I can't help you with lilo). RH uses their own initrd, so you should be able to use the existing lilo.conf as a guide. If you have an unusual setup you may have to mount the initrd file, and edit it yourself.
