Amanda, are you trying to use lvm over software raid? In this case have you already seen the following howto?
http://wiki.sisuite.org/SoftwareRAID#head-8a021864a4988ace0b6ba383018a982dd6f8f103 SystemImager is able to automatically generates the autoinstall script, so try to modify the autoinstallscript.conf (looking at the howto) and recreate the script with si_mkautoinstallscript... Moreover if the root filesystem is on a lvm over raid volume the initrd in the image must contain both lvm and raid modules.. in the following output it seems that no raid module is loaded during the boot...
