I googled for it and found it should create some file: /boot/initrd-lvm-<KernelVersion>.gz is this created on your system? (May be your /boot partition is full?) IF it was created, please verify, if it is referenced in your grub/lilo configuration. Can you please post an "ls -ltr /boot", to show us the content of your /boot partition and your grub or lilo configuration? You also should edit the /etc/fstab of the new LVM-root change the name of the new root partition/volume.
