After setting up an LVM through YaST and rebooting the Linux image would not boot correctly. It was a while ago since I tried it, so I don't remember what happened exactly, but from what I remember it came up without network support and with some other errors.
I asked an IBM guy about it and he is the one who told me that he knew of others that had the same problem and that Novell had a patch for it. Now that I read your email and think about it, I never ran mkinitrd and zipl after I used YaST to create the LVM. I just assumed that YaST did that. That may have been were I went wrong. I'll try it on an image and see. I am curious as to whether or not YaST is supposed to run mkinitrd and zipl, and if that is the fix in the patch.

It is just a test system and applications ran out of tablespace. So 3 3390-9 volumes should last a month or two. No problems using Yast to do it. Forgot to do the mkinitrd but did remember to do the zipl afterwards. But it seems to work even between IPL's. So, what kind of problems did you have?
