I have no problems in creating VMs on image file with virt-install, but despite my efforts to install a domU on a logical volume, I haven't succeeded so far. Virt-install seems to be able to crate VMs only on image files. I have tried to create the domU on a logical volume by cloning the host (I'm using a red-hat), and failed (more than once.

Why doesn't  "virt-install -file /dev/volgroup/logvol" work for you?
