If it was set up by a gui os installer like mandrake, etc (I assume thats 
what you mean) it will have included the lvm module in an initrd which will 
also be loaded by lilo. So that is unlikely to be the problem.

Doubt it, but worth a try.

More info on "won't boot"
Lilo fails part way?
panic on attempting to mount root?
errors executing /linuxrc on initrd?
