I've been chasing an LVM problem myself and ran across that list:

As as aside, my problem resulted from something that wasn't clear in
the F7 install.  I had a system get hosed due to a memory problem and
reinstalled F7 because I had a dvd handy.  I was intent on installing
F8 so I created a partition to use to do a hard disk install of F8.  I
realized, after the fact, that the partition I created was a logical
partition, which cannot be used for the hard disk install.  Lots of
time wasted because the installer used the entire disk (except for
/boot) for LVM, grumble.

On a more positive note, readlist.com has a nice interface for
browsing through list archives:

Cheers,

Mike
