Are you using a standard kernel or a self compiled one?

The standard kernel provides LVM2 support so that should be alright.
Since it works when you do it manually, something must be wrong when

lvdisplay show you?

I start it manually after login to system (line "/dev/mapper/SYSTEM-HOME
/opt            ext3    defaults        0       2" in /etc/fstab is
deleted).
