Cameron, AFAIK having the /boot directory or partition on LVM can not work in any case, since the BIOS needs to access the grub files. That's the reason people use a separate /boot partition. If you try to share one /boot partition between many OSes, you could theoretically make subdirectories there for each one, and copy in the distro's original /boot stuff and change paths accordingly in the menu.lst files. But this will soon become so messy that it will be easier to maintain one big menu.lst by hand, and update it every time one of the distros is reconfigured. This special case is just too difficult to handle in an automated way. WRT to comment 4, do the other distributions handle this better?
