I've tried to install root filesystem on a logical volume as explained in the mini "HOWTO boot your root FS OFF oF LVM"
but lvmcreate_initrd doesn't find lvm.o module :

pc031104:~ # lvmcreate_initrd

If i try to boot with root file system on /dev/vg00/root, kernel is launched but boot fails when mounting root file system.

--> Kernel release is 2.2.16 and the distribution is SuSE 7.0 French release.LVM V0.8-112

LVM is  used for others file systems

How can I obtain lvm.o module?
