My current system has one 200GB IDE drive, and two 400GB SATA 
drives. I created a 100MB partition on the IDE drive which mounts as 
/boot, then created an LVM group using everything else. All other 
partitions (swap, /, /video, /music) are within that LVM group. (or is it 
volume?)

Clearly IDE and SATA drives will play together nicely in an LVM group, 
at least on my system. I don't really think LVM cares what kind of block 
device is included, just as Poul stated.
