I think you specify the root device as

/dev/lvgroup/lvvolume
so I have
/dev/gotss/gotss-usr

If you don't specify the volume group name the initrd has no idea you want 
to initialize lvm;
apart from that I am sorry mine works and I run ubuntu without speakup so no 
further ideas.

Regards, Kerry.

OK, but since that machine currently can't access the network, that
would be difficult.

How do you generate your ramdisks? What commands, modules, etc. I always
use update-initramfs because it's the official solution suggested and
installed with Debian, but I don't mind making my own if it solves the
problem.

I'm using the standard Debian kernel 2.6.25-2-686, so I'm not sure what
you mean. It uses Speakup modules, also standard supplied with Debian.
It has no problem adding my LVM volumes on boot, it just won't mount
/dev/mapper/main-root as my root device under /root in the initramfs
image like it's supposed to. I can do it manually and it works fine. I
specifically told it to add the xfs and dm_mod mdoules.
