No, the problem is in the wrapper script for the LVM tools.  It is using
"sed" in the script, but that is not on the initrd.  I don't see sed in
my LVM wrapper script, so you must have a different one.  Either fix the
wrapper script (edit /sbin/vgscan should be enough), or add "sed" to the
list of required files, INITRDFILES, in lvmcreate_initrd.

Cheers, Andreas
