I allways create two primary partitions: the first of about 50M for /boot, the second on the rest of the hd. In this second partition I create EVMS volumes for everything else.

Do you call evms_activate when booting (did you "rc-update add evms boot")?
AFAIK all x86 1.4 LiveCDs have EVMS support (EVMS1, though). This is
completely sufficient for installation of an Everything-on-EVMS
(except /boot) system. You can upgrate to EVMS2 later w/o problems.
