I used this layout for lvm, you'll need a dedicated boot partition.

Hope it helps.

Not sure if this helpful (I have not tested that myself) - wondering if you 
could specify 

bootloader --location=partition 

to make it work ? 

see

As far as I know, LVM is the only way to use disks without partitioning (and I 
still use partitions with LVM anyway - old habits die hard!) However I doubt a 
boot partition will work under LVM. I'm a bit out of touch with modern 
disk/boot architectures however ...

Hello, 

First of all, my apologies if this questions has already been answered, but I 
couldn’t find a clear answer in the documentation or searching the list 
archives. 

My goal is to install CentOS 6 and 7 on an entire disk, with no partitioning 
scheme (e.g. in /dev/xvda). 

My first attempt was to use “part …. onpart=xvda”, like this: 

zerombr 
clearpart --drives=xvda --all --initlabel 
part / --fstype ext3 --fsoptions=noatime --onpart=xvda 

The installer actually formats /dev/xvda correctly: 

│ Creating ext3 filesystem on /dev/xvda │ 


However, it fails right after that because it tries to read the first item from 
an empty list: 

Entering debugger... 
> /usr/lib/anaconda/platform.py(640)bootloaderChoices() 
-> ret["mbr"] = (bl.drivelist[0], N_("Master Boot Record (MBR)")) 
(Pdb) bl.drivelist 
[] 
(Pdb) ret 
{'boot': ('xvda', 'First sector of boot partition')} 


What’s the correct way to avoid partitioning entirely, and have the system 
installed into a whole device? 


Kind regards 
Eduardo Bragatto
