building LVM kernels for RH

[Net Llama!]

Anyone here had any success building your own 2.6.x kernel from the
pristine kernel.org source on a RH system that is using LVM (either RHEL4
or FC3/4)?

I've tried using an initrd and also compiling in support for LVM into the
2.6.12.1 kernel, and both times, the root filesystem can't be found on
bootup:
VFS: Cannot open root device "mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00" or
unknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(0,0)

Surely there has to be a way to do this without using RH's kernel?
