OK, my SuSE 8.2 box is running LVM2 (with some 2.4 kernel still) now, two minor pitfalls I encountered:
1. make install mandir=/usr/share/man (automake should really be updated to know *that*, most systems use that) - I've just scribbled over LVM1 to have the boot scripts in place
2. /etc/init.d/boot.lvm remounts root read-only before using vgchange, which no longer works. Patch against SuSE 8.2's lvm-1.0.6-34:
