My CentOS 5.5 burns are usually done with a ks.cfg that allocates a
couple of logical volumes within 15GB no matter the size of the
underlying physical volume.  After that, I'm able to
lvresize+e2resizefs to my heart's content.  You might want to
investigate doing something similar to this anyway given what I'm
reading in the rest of this thread.

(In an unrelated tangent, who's waiting for CentOS 6?)
