Hi,
Getting back at this -  I didn't even come to work on the machine in 
question, now that's a different one, at work, with nearly the same goal:

the lvm tools seem to be there - they can be run, but they return an error.

What kernel modules should be avilable and loaded for the lvm stuff, and 
what can I do to get make-fai-nfsroot to include these modules in my fai 
boot kernel and initrd which it puts to /src/tftp/fai/... ?

Anyway, here's the complete output of the partition stuff:
