I'm able to mount an LVM partition without problem:
---------------------------
[root@alfred tim]# mount /dev/VolGroup00/opt /mnt
[root@alfred tim]# ls /mnt
lost+found SDK sun
---------------------------
I don't see that there would be any problem if the mount didn't work.
My fstab reads in part:
---------------------------
/dev/VolGroup00/slash / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/VolGroup00/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2
...
---------------------------
I take it from this that the LVM partition is ext3.
My grub.conf stanza reads
---------------------------
title Fedora (2.6.23.1-21.fc7)
root (hd1,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-21.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/slash noipv6
initrd /initrd-2.6.23.1-21.fc7.img
---------------------------
