I should have asked what system you are booting in when you want to mount the LVM volumns. On my system I boot into fedora f7 from an sda 3 partition, or from the live CD. During the boot something (I bekieve it is udev) sees the LVM partitions and adds a /dev/VolGroup00 directory in /dev with sub files of LogVol00 and LogVol001. I don't need to make them active, in fact to mount them I suspect you don't want them active. Then the mount command I sent before should work, after you mkdir to mount on.
