I think there is bug in the lvmcreate_initrd script. Notice in the clip below the line after cmd-... where the variable VERRSION is set but then in the next line VERSION is tested and set if null. The net result is that you are unable to pass in a module version to override the value provided by VERSION=uname -r.

# Changelog
#
# 16/11/1999 - corrected -N type with mke2fs
# 19/12/1999 - use correct ramdisk size
# strip shared library to save space
# 04/01/2000 - support /proc mount, because lvm_dir_cache now uses it
#

cmd=basename $0
VERRSION=$1
[ -z "$VERSION" ] && VERSION=uname -r
DEVRAM=/dev/ram1

I've added this fix to my collection, and will make a new release soon.

Cheers, Andreas
