oh also here's my disk_config layout:

# Simple LVM example
disk_config sda  bootable:1
primary /boot 500 ext3 defaults
primary -       4096-   -       -

disk_config lvm
vg lvmtest        sda2
lvmtest-swap     swap    1048    swap    sw
lvmtest-root     /       1048    xfs    defaults
lvmtest-var      /var    2048    xfs    defaults
