Ehm I don't think so.  I have never seen any mention of LVM support in
GRUB 0.97.  It's in legacy maintainance mode only.  All new stuff goes
in GRUB2 only.

It supports software raid1 for sure.

I found something saying you need grub 1.95 or higher to have boot on
LVM.

I would recommend a small (200MB maybe) /boot at the start of the disk,
and then you can put root and everything else in LVM.
