Tonight I tried installing FC5 test3 on my fake nforce4 RAID box. Anaconda and the install completed OK with LVM on top of my dmraid mirror. However, after the install finishes when the system tries to boot the kernel/initramfs can't find any LVM PVs and can't activate VolGroup00 and then it panics. I tried this twice, once with the XEN kernel and one without. Same results with the behavior difference of the XEN kernel auto-rebooting after it can't finding the LVM PVs. When I boot into the rescue environment the dmraid is activated and LVM comes up no problem. In the rescue environment I inspected the init script inside the initrd. It appears fine, maybe I've missed something.
