Can you post your autoinstallscript.conf (you can find it in /etc/systemimager/autoinstallscript.conf on your golden client)? It seems that something's wrong when cloning your LVM configuration. Moreover it would be useful to know if you're using LVM ver.1 or 2 (but since you're using RHEL4 I think it's surely LVM2). Anyway try to run `pvs -o pv_fmt`, you should see only "lvm2" tags. Then it would be useful also the output of the following commands (in your golden client): fdisk -l pvs vgs lvs > This time it makes it much farther… to where it is partitioning the > disks. This is the error I see: > > " > <snip> > DISKS=2 > Paritioning /dev/sda… > Old partition table for /dev/sda > Error unable to open /dev/sda - unrecognized disk label > Dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 || shellout > SCSI device sda: 285155328 512-byte hdwr sectors (146000MB) > Sda: asking for cache data failed > Sda: assuming drive cache: write through > sda: unkown partition table > BLKRRPART: Input/output error > Killing off running processes. > " This seems to be a different issue independent from lvm. It's a simple dd that fails. Are you sure that /dev/sda is the right disk? Does the machine have other disks? when the autoinstallscript fails can you log in the console and post the output of cat /proc/diskstats? Moreover you can check if for some strange conditions the disk is in read-only mode: `blockdev --getro /dev/sda`.
