5 | Very possible. You will want to setup a software RAID (probably RAID
6 | 1 I assume) from the CD. Since a software RAID device can't be
7 | partitioned you can make the whole thing a PV and go from there. You
8 | will need to create a ramdisk to start the software raid devices and
9 | initialize the lvm. There is infomation on how to do this in the
10 | RAID Howto and the LVM Howto at www.tldp.org.

12 my two cents
13 partition physical drives, create two equally sized small partitions
14 (one on each drive) -> and use them as two swap partitions later;
15 it is better then creating swap on lvm over raid
16
17 the rest of the drives can be the second partition, and these two big
18 partitions can be merged into one raid1 device, this can be then used
19 as pv for lvm
