do I do this in /boot/grub/menu.lst?  and may I ask how you construct
that path there ( my vg is 'Anarres-64-main', the root volume is
'root')?

I'm looking forward to this working.  Right now I can make it work
withthe following input at the initramfs prompt:
./scripts/local-top/mdadm
lvm vgscan
lvm vgchange -a y

of course this is somewhat irritating to do on every boot, and suspend
and hibernate have both broken on this box now, as, apparently, have the
the ethernet drivers (for both my nics); so I'm just hoping the promised
fix shows up soon.
