ok, i agree that will take care of the problem. however, even when i clone a system without lvm it will not load my scsi_hostadapter. also, perhaps lvm is built into the kernel and there would not be a use for "pre-install" for lvm-mod. what is strange is that after the system boots i am able to do a modprobe of my scsi_hostadapter and then mount my filesystems. why was the module not loaded on boot from the modules listed in modules.conf? what part of the boot process actually loads the "scsi_hostadapter" module line in the modules.conf?

i guess my questions are: why does it appear that suse requires ALL scsi modules loaded through initrd even if they are not used for root filesystem?
Probably because your modules.conf isn't properly configured.
In your modules.conf you have a line
alias char-major-109 lvm-mod
After this line you could put
pre-install lvm-mod /sbin/modprobe "-k" "your scsi driver module"
