Is there a way to coerce the test3 installer to read its ISO images from a filesystem on an LVM VG?
I tried this about a month ago, but couldn't find out what would be needed. I understand though that the 80M rescue cd contains a much wider range of device and logical drivers than the boot.iso, and it may just be a matter of passing the correct value in the boot: prompt or in the hard disk method ?
I tried the rescue disk. It too appears to have the problem that the initial system it boots into can't read LVM, not until you choose the go into rescue mode does it seem to activate the lvm and vgscan.

I resorted to making some /home/install space on an ext3 drive so that the isos would be available; I have also got around it by mounting the iso's on another machine and making them available over ftp. (for dvd mount on eg disc, while for CD mkdirs of disc1, d2, d3, d4 etc and give the disc1 folder as the image location.
I guess FTP is my next best hope to avoid burning the CDs. With the default layout of Fedora being 100M ext3 and everything else LVM is seems pretty obvious that the installer should need to be able to read LVM. I may file a feature request.

I have filed a request for enhancement to enable anaconda to read logical volumes.
