With Ubuntu, you'll probably first need to install lvm. Once you've done
that run
# vgscan
Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while...
Found volume group "gen" using metadata type lvm2
Found volume group "os" using metadata type lvm2
I have two. If I want to then activate that device then I run:
# vgchange -a y gen
Afterwhich I'll have a device like so
# lvdisplay gen
--- Logical volume ---
LV Name /dev/gen/share
VG Name gen
LV UUID
.. snip ..
Block device 253:2
Note the LV Name line, that corresponds to what can be considered your
device. Mount it as normal
mount /dev/gen/share /mnt
And you are up and running.
Cheers,
Clint

It sounds like Fedora used LVM (Logical Volume Management) for its root
partition. If so, you will have to mount the LVM volumes rather than the
physical partitions. See if "lvscan" returns a list. If so, mount those
volumes up instead and you should have your data.
Example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lvscan
ACTIVE '/dev/vg0/home' [30.00 GB] inherit
ACTIVE '/dev/vg0/swap0' [1.50 GB] inherit
