3.4.1 does not support creation of logical volumes. If you look at the autoinstall script for your client, you will see the LVs are never created before the attempt to format the partitions. That's why I went to unstable 3.5.3 I got this working on my SuSE SLES9 setup, but it was seriously hard. There were a lot of bugs (at least they are bugs under SuSE). I am trying to patch these for my own site. I was planning to post them once I got a bit farther along.
I can post my notes if you want to give it a try. They are long and gory.
