Problem booting with a LVM root after installing a client with FAI on debian ETCH

Sorry for such stupid question but how to be sure that lvm2 is installed on
the FAI client? From what i see lvm2 is in the list of packages defined in
/etc/fai/NFSROOT, is it enough or do i need to specify somewhere that lvm2
need to be installed?

I have really used the default fai sample to try, just changed the disk
config file FAIBASE and modified with the exemple LVM configuration from the
man page.
