Try giving mkinitrd a different fstab that contains no reference to LVM
in the root disk... (--fstab=file)

This, for example, I used earlier today...

mkinitrd -f --with=xennet --builtin=aic7xxx --builtin=serverworks
--preload=xenblk --omit-raid-modules --omit-lvm-modules
--fstab=/mnt/etc/fstab  /tmp/initrd-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen.img
2.6.19-1.2895.fc6xen

Values for --builtin pulled from dom0's /etc/modprobe.conf
(serverworks, for example is not in the xen module tree).
Assumes domU's root on /mnt...
