So, with or without an initrd the devices should be listed under /dev, providing, of course, that the kernel has been configured correctly, as shown above.
BTW I don't think that you need an initramfs; I seem to remember booting to an LVM partition in the past (when I used LVM) without an initramfs. In fact, on LFS I've never used an initramfs for anything; it just complicates matters and is unnecessary, IMO. I have to confess that I've not been following this thread in detail; do you have a separate /boot partition? Richard
