Alternatively, LVM can setup the volume containing the rootfs automagically when lvm is built-in the kernel. Although Suse&RedHat use the initrd to do this, it's good to know that recovery is possible with no initrd at hand. Thus, I'd feel save enough with rootfs on lvm. But then, when putting /usr, /boot, /etc and such on seperate volumes it does'nt make too much difference from the performance perspective anyway...
