Looks like your kernel has no support for modules. You can rebuild the
domU kernel to include kernel module support, or build LVM support
into the kernel directly. Copying the modules is only half the trick.

Another alternative you can do is make OpenFiler use the dom0 kernel
to use your real disks if you have problems with LVM (though I don't
see why there should be any).

HTH,
