Also, when you do the mkinitrd, make sure you use

Watch the output and make sure the "sata_via" module gets loaded into
the initrd.
I've followed your suggestions, modified the /etc/modprobe.conf file and
recreated the initrd with the above command and restarted my system with
partial success.
My system does now find and activate my volume group. Yeah!!
However, another error message which I've seen before but didn't list in
my original mail since I thought it was a follow-up message from not
finding the volume group is still present:
mount: error 6 mounting ext3
ERROR opening /dev/console!!!!: 2
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 0
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 1
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 2
error dup2'ing fd of 0 to 3
switchroot: mount failed: 22
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
I am guessing the system is trying to mount the root tree which is part
of the volume group but why would that fail after it found the volume?
Thanks again for your help!
