BTW, you don't need a separate CD or anything like that: you can use
your initrd for that same purpose. I.e. at the Grub prompt, tell it to
boot with an argument like `break=local` (IIRC) and it should
(hopefully) drop you into a shell soon before mounting the root
file system. You can then use `lvm lvresize`.
