Bug description:
On a LPAR installation with DASD disks, where two DASD disks where
activated, but where the installation should just be done on the
second, I came across the following issue:
At 'Guided storage configuration' by default the first disk is pre-
selected '0X260B':

I then selected the second disk 'LX260C':

I only selected to reformat the entire disk, which seem to have happend, and

I'm wondering about LVM and VG here, is using LVM always the default in case

I've attached the full /var/log and /var/crash ...
