Sorry, this is not what I meant. In the above configuration each Dom0 host
LV is seen as an entire physical disk by the DomU.
Apparently (guessing from the stack trace you included) Anaconda expects to
find a partition table on that physical disk.

Instead of the above, you should have one (or a couple) of LV's imported
into the DomU and have a partition table setup in it, just like you have on
the Dom0's own physical disk, for instance.

Cheers,
