Thanks, but my problem is that the 'init' inside the initrd is runing lvm commands, probably because it was built on a host that has LVM, and I need to remove these lvm commands from the init inside the initrd. How do I do that? 

Your above solution would have solved my problem yesterday when I ran into this, but now I have reimaged the server using LVM, and I am facing yet another problem.

thanks.
