[wellylug] ubuntu feisty crap

[David Harrison]

I have had that problem before when loading from an initrd that did not 
have the LVM driver built into it.
Resolution required rebuilding the initrd image so that it included the 
lvm kernel modules.

I've never done it on Ubuntu but this page seems to outline the process 
fairly well:
