Well, this might seem stupid, but did you select the filesystem in the
partition manager menu? That's where you have to select it. These are
the steps for LVM in the new debian installer:
1 - Create the LVM partitions in the main menu.
2 - Go to the LVM Menu.
3 - Create the volume groups.
4 - Create the logical volumes.
5 - Go back to the main menu.
6 - Assign the filesystems and the mount-points.
7 - Proceed.
If you did all this (in particular, step 6), then all my explanation is
unnecesary, but your message gave me the impression that you skipped
this step.
Sorry if it doesn't help.
Love,
Margarita Manterola.
