hi
is there the possibility to create meta-devices automatically, and how
can I create a system with root on lvm?
Yes it is possible although depending on you configuration you might
have problems with the bootloader...

Please make sure you use the latest update from
    ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/nashif/autoyast2/RPMS/yast2-module-autoinst-2.5.24-0.noarch.rpm
This update contains fixes for LVM and Partitioning in general.

The following will create a root partition on top of LVM:

  <partitioning config:type="list" >
   <drive>
    <device>/dev/hdc</device>
    <partitions config:type="list" >
     <partition>
      <mount>/boot</mount>
      <filesystem>reiser</filesystem>
      <size>auto</size>
      <partition_type>primary</partition_type>
     </partition>
     <partition>
      <mount>swap</mount>
      <size>auto</size>
      <partition_type>primary</partition_type>
     </partition>

     <partition>
      <lvm_group>system</lvm_group>
      <size>max</size>
      <partition_type>primary</partition_type>
     </partition>
    </partitions>
    <use>all</use>
   </drive>
  </partitioning>
    <lvm config:type="list">
     <lvm_group>
      <lvm_name>system</lvm_name>
      <pesize>4M</pesize>
      <logical_volumes config:type="list">
    <lv>
      <lv_name>rootlv</lv_name>
      <lv_size>2gb</lv_size>
      <lv_fs>reiser</lv_fs>
      <lv_mount>/</lv_mount>
    </lv>
    <lv>
      <lv_name>optlv</lv_name>
      <lv_size>1500mb</lv_size>
      <lv_fs>reiser</lv_fs>
      <lv_mount>/opt</lv_mount>
    </lv>
    <lv>
      <lv_name>varlv</lv_name>
      <lv_size>200mb</lv_size>
      <lv_fs>reiser</lv_fs>
      <lv_mount>/var</lv_mount>
    </lv>
      </logical_volumes>
      </lvm_group>
  </lvm>
