Ah, I ran into that problem myself the other day. My solution was:

 * Add "break=premount" to the end of your kernel commandline and boot
   * If you have panic=<something> set, remove it. For some reason,
     those two options conflict and you won't get a shell, even though
	 you explicitly asked for one
 * The initramfs will break out to a shell before any file systems are
   mounted.
 * At the shell run "lvm vgchange -ay". This will make all your LVM LVs
   available
 * Press Ctrl+D to exit the shell and continue booting.
 * With the system now up (hopefully), create the following file as
   /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/lvm
     #!/bin/sh

	 lvm vgchange -ay
 * Make the file executable (chmod +x ...)
 * Rebuild the initramfs with "sudo update-initramfs -u"

Your system should now boot reliably.
