When I was installing my ibook last year, lvm did not work from the
menue, because (as I was told) partman does not yet have support for
it. So if you feel confident in programming, I guess support for this
hin partman is more than welcome. I don't know if there has been any
work on this since then, though.
On the other hand, I was able to use the shell, create the volume
group and the logical volumes. Back in the installer I could then
format, mount and install onto them; also a later installer run onto a
second partition detected the lvm as well.
Greetings
