I have done this on a fresh install. /boot was it's own filesystem / was in lvm vgwhatever
SUSE appends LVM to the /etc/sysconfig/modules so that the lvm module is available in the initial ramd.

We boot from a 100 cyl /boot fs and have a logical volume mounted over /. Maybe the easiest way is to try this type of migration is to play tricks with minidisks: - Shut down the Linux to be migrated - Define a new user ID with the two or three new volumes as well as the volumes with the old / and /usr/ as different minidisks - Install a fresh sles8 with a 100 cyl /boot and a two or three volume LVM over / - Temporarily mount and recursively copy the old / to the new / - Do the same for /usr/ - Reboot and cross your fingers - if it doesn't work, at least the old user ID is unchanged and can still be booted I've never tried this, but it sounds good on "paper". (During the time I was writing this I see Mark and Brandon's posts. I tend to agree - you may want to avoid logical volumes over / altogether.)
