The initrd use with the fedora setup may be the difference.  The grub 
menu is looking for a device called /dev/VolGroup00/LFS, so that must 
have been defined in the initrd.

LVM reads some sort of "signature" written to the drive itself.  
There is no conf file.  Obviously the kernel must have LVM support 
compiled in to do this.

That can't be, as the the drive must be mounted first before you 
could have access to any userspace files.  I will take a look at the 
fedora's init scripts to see what it is doing.
