Sorry to say but petitboot hasn't got support to handle lvm and I don't assume
that this is going to happen soon. One thing you might try if you really
want to work with lvm is having a separate non-lvm /boot partition.
Though I haven't tried this myself I guess that should work and be sure to use
petitboot provided with the installation media.
In case you encounter and solve any problems it would be nice if you
would share your experiences on http://en.opensuse.org/PS3 so everybody
can benefit from it.
