OK, this isn't initially a FC problem.

I had a system that when installed fell foul of the old problem where if 
Windoze got to write the partition table first there were compatibility 
problems.  That was an old Win/RH9 dual system.  I'd never altered the 
partitions since then, and just reformatted the partitions and installed new 
OS.

This time I asked it to re-partition, and it balked on the LVM format for some 
reason.  Partitioning and formatting to ext3 worked, and removing those 
partitions and then re-installing got LVM installed.

So I guess we can just put this one down to MSWin and RH not agreeing on the 
partition table.
