Thanks. I'll try that within the next day. By both stanzas, you mean both of the menu.lst kernel boot items that reference lvm2?

initrd /boot/initrd-lvm2-2.6.26.gz

was the version created by createlvm2_initrd script.

After fixing all my file issues, my menu.lst now looks like this:

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26 Using LVM with SATA Disk
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26 root=/dev/ram0 lvm2root=/dev/mapper/sda_vol-root
initrd          /initrd-lvm2-2.6.26.gz
savedefault

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26 Using LVM with SATA Disk (recovery)
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz-2.6.26 root=/dev/ram0 lvm2root=/dev/mapper/sda_vol-root ro single
initrd          /initrd-lvm2-2.6.26.gz
savedefault

Thanks!
