Anaconda does not see my logical partions

Hello,

I have 2 hard drives.
sdb is OK and I do not want to touch it
sda is partitionned as follows:
/dev/sda1   *           1        1402    11261533+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            1403       30401   232934467+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5            1403        2039     5116671    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6            2040        2676     5116671    7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda7            2677        2937     2096451   82  Linux swap / 
Solaris
/dev/sda8            2938        3198     2096451   83  Linux
/dev/sda9            3199        4243     8393931   83  Linux
/dev/sda10           4244        5026     6289416   83  Linux
/dev/sda11           5027        5809     6289416   83  Linux
/dev/sda12           5810        6331     4192933+  83  Linux
/dev/sda13           6332        7636    10482381   83  Linux
/dev/sda14           7637        8057     3381651   83  Linux
/dev/sda15           8058       30401   179478148+  83  Linux

In fact sda15 is a logical volume group:
   PV /dev/sda15   VG Vol_Group1   lvm2 [171.16 GB / 106.06 GB free]
   Total: 1 [171.16 GB] / in use: 1 [171.16 GB] / in no VG: 0 [0   ]

partitioned like:
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_usr' [8.30 GB] inherit
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_usr_lib' [4.88 GB] inherit
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_usr_local' [6.35 GB] inherit
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_usr_src' [3.61 GB] inherit
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_tmp' [1.95 GB] inherit
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_home' [20.00 GB] inherit
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_iso_image' [10.00 GB] inherit
   ACTIVE            '/dev/Vol_Group1/LV_backup' [10.00 GB] inherit


But anaconda does not see this partitionning.
It does see that /dev/sda15 is a LVM and that it. I cannot install
any thing on the partitions, the only option seems to reformat the LVM
and to recreate the logical volumes.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Thank.
