Comments/Problems:

LVs are not visible during custom partitioning phase of install, therefor, I could not specify the root partition. LV partitions were created ahead of time with another distro and are seen by Fedora, SuSE, RHEL and Mandriva. I believe they are seen, but not displayed, since I could select LVM and select delete. But I couldn't get them to display on the assignment screen without doing some magic (see next).

There is a workaround, but it should not be needed: go to console 2 and vgscan, vgchange, then back to the partitioner and they are then displayed for editing and assignment.

This is a multi-boot test machine configured with LVM2 on top of software raid5.
