Should not mount from Fedora know about LVM partitions and how to setup access?
Yes, you are right, both disks have LVM file systems.

Here is the scenario
Fedora core4 on a dedicated 80 gig drive /hdb. (All install defaults taken)
Fedora core5 on a 200 gig dedicated drive. (All defaults taken)
Using system bios, I can boot from either drive.
I can mount the boot partition from either system to the other, but I cannot mount the
data partitions.
My commands were (from root)
mkdir /other (on each hard drive)
mount -t ext3 /dev/hda? /other
where I tried ? from 7 all the way to 1. On the core4 system,
The system could not find values of /dev/hda7 through 3 . Refused /dev/hda2 and showed me
the boot partition for /dev/hda1
On the core5 test3 system using the default values as set up by annaconda at install time,
I could see the boot partition on /dev/hdb1 but no other partition.
Is there something I am doing wrong? I tried many flavours of xxx for the mount -t xxxx
(auto, ext2, ext3) , eluding -t parameter.
Your test against a vanilla corex drive would be appreciated.

Your problem may have to do with the fact that default installs use LVM
for partitions other than /boot.
