Normally ther kernel will assume /sbin/init, but in order to get to the program you must have access to the root filesystem. In order to mount the root filesystem, the root=/dev/sda2 (example) will need to be passed to the kernel at boot time. You have the scsi and lvm modules loaded through the initrd, but in order to access a logical volume you would usually have to do a vgchange -a y or something to enable the lvm for that volume group... If your root= kernel command points to the correct device, and if that device is an logical volume and it still doesn't work, then check www.tldp.org or ask on one of the LVM lists!!! Hope this helps! Thomas
