Hi, Finally got around to playing around with the beta 3 install. I've had a number of issues doing a slightly complicated install, which I'll write a number of emails about as I manage to reproduce the problem enough times to have enough information to write about them confidently.
Here's one I think I can do now: Disk setup: 1 IDE disk, /dev/hda, previously partitioned thusly: /dev/hda1 Windows 2000 60G /dev/hda2 Linux (type 82) 500M /dev/hda3 Linux swap 500M /dev/hda4 Linux LVM (type 8e) Lotsa Everything's great like this, it works fine. I initially went to try and install having something like this: /dev/hda1 Windows 2000 60G /dev/hda2 Linux LVM (type 8e) 60G When I got to the "configure LVM" stage, it barfed, saying I had no physical volumes or something to that effect. So I then when back to the original partitioning scheme and everything was good. This puzzled me, so I went and tried this: /dev/hda1 Windows 2000 60G /dev/hda2 Linux (type 82) 500M /dev/hda3 Linux LVM (type 8e) Lotsa /dev/hda4 Linux swap 500M and again, it failed similarly. It seems I can only partition the disk using the original partitioning scheme outline above for it to work. This made me suspicious that it was only working because it might been finding the remnants of an LVM physical volume signature from a previous install or something... regards Andrew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
