Hi,

I'm not an expert here by any means, but I'll share my experience here as I 
have had similar problems with CentOS (which does things similarly as 
Fedora). As far as I understand, the problem isn't getting LVM partitions 
recognised by xen, but Anaconda not being capable of installing directly on 
partitions.

Anaconda seems to insist on using complete block devices. So each partition 
you specify in the domU config will be interpreted by Anaconda as an 
unformatted block device. It will insist on adding a partition map and 
partitions. I didn't find a way to tell Anaconda to interpret the partitions 
as partitions. I suspect Red Hat only adapted Anaconda as much as to work 
with their prefered usage of Xen (working with full block devices, or device 
files), not for the full capabilities of Xen (passing partitions only).

For my setup, I ended up with some sort of compromise:
* Create a relatively small LVM partition which will be passed as virtual 
block device to the domU guest for Anaconda to play with
* Create a domU config and install CentOS-5 on this partition. Note that 
Anaconda will turn it into a virtual block device and adds a partition table 
and several partitions (I limited it to two: /boot and /)
* After successful installation, I added several LVM partitions to the domU 
configuration as partitions this time
* Inside the domU, I altered fstab to use these LVM partitions for /home 
and /var and swap.
* So I can use LVM snapshotting for my data at least.

If you get to setup fc6 fully on LVM, I'd love to hear how you did that. I may 
redo my setup as well then.

Regards,

Geert
