I am also having a very similiar issue.  I have an older system using LVM1
and I am trying to upgrade it to LVM2 in SLES9 with no luck.

The procedure I am using it not through yast or any other common means but
I am pretty much moving a working system on top of an older system.  The
system boots with the new 2.6.10 (from 2.4.20) with a new initrd.  LVM
comes up, detects all my partitions, then an error stating that there is
no EXT3 filesystems on the partitions appears.  Shortly after that the
kernel panics because my root filesystem is on LVM.

I've been trying numerous ideas with no luck.
