Repartitioning in FC4 was seriously broken.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160693

This bug meant that the partition table was written to the disk, but was 
not re-read correctly. This caused all kinds of issues with the 
following lvm and formatting steps.

The bug is fixed in fc5t1, but i've not got around to testing it.
