I just built a custom Ubuntu kernel, so I think I might know what the problem is. The stock Ubuntu kernel needs an initrd to load the ide modules. I am guessing you probably just want to edit their initrd to add the lines to load the lvm modules. I believe the stock initrd is in /usr/share/initrd/. I built a vanilla kernel patched with Software Suspend for my girlfriend's laptop. I built it from the Ubuntu .config because I didn't want anything that was already working to change. LVM is very cool, and very useful. Good luck with it. Pat
