Looking at the other parts of your logs the partition /dev/sda9, which is what hosts the LVM, is in place!? > PV/VG/LVremove(s) should be done after the command "parted -s /dev/sda > set 9 lvm on" and before trying to "pvcreate"... Do you understand ? > (maybe it's not really clear -> let me know) > I understand, and you would be completely right - if it were the case that the disk label had been wiped already... To me it seems that something about your volume group is wrong!? Is this system still available in this state, i.e., can you either re-run the install or just go right were it stopped? IMHO you should still be able to do vgdisplay -a, etc. and try to do the removal of the logical volume manually. One question maybe: What is the state you expected this system to be in? Did you expect WOO_BASE to be there? Could it be that /dev/sda9 had been wiped in some earlier install and there's just some other information left that made setup-storage discover WOO_BASE? Thanks a lot, Michael
