I'm able to mount an LVM partition without problem:
---------------------------
[root at alfred tim]# mount /dev/VolGroup00/opt /mnt
[root at alfred tim]# ls /mnt
lost+found  SDK  sun
---------------------------

I don't see that there would be any problem if the mount didn't work.

My fstab reads in part:
---------------------------
/dev/VolGroup00/slash   /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot1            /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/VolGroup00/home    /home                   ext3    defaults        1 2
...
---------------------------
I take it from this that the LVM partition is ext3.

My grub.conf stanza reads
---------------------------
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-21.fc7)
        root (hd1,1)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-21.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/slash noipv6
        initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-21.fc7.img
