Actually there's good news on this front too. It turns out the machine I took the autoinstallscript from had been built without LVM and the image I had installe was. I'm assuming there are additional lvm-specific structures in the image and had I knowm what to do might have been able to make that all work. however, by simply using a different autoinstallscrip that did know about lvm everything worked out just fine. great stuff... -mark
