There I've found: - Running command ['vgcreate', '--force', '--zero=y', '--yes', 'ubuntu-vg', '/dev/dasda2'] with allowed return codes [0] (capture=True) - An error occured handling 'lvm_volgroup-0': ProcessExecutionError - Unexpected error while running command. - Command: ['vgcreate', '--force', '--zero=y', '--yes', 'ubuntu-vg', '/dev/dasda2'] - Exit code: 5 - Reason: - - Stdout: '' - Stderr: A volume group called ubuntu-vg already exists. - + Running command ['vgcreate', '--force', '--zero=y', '--yes', 'ubuntu-vg', '/dev/dasda2'] with allowed return codes [0] (capture=True) + An error occured handling 'lvm_volgroup-0': ProcessExecutionError - Unexpected error while running command. + Command: ['vgcreate', '--force', '--zero=y', '--yes', 'ubuntu-vg', '/dev/dasda2'] + Exit code: 5 + Reason: - + Stdout: '' + Stderr: A volume group called ubuntu-vg already exists. And now things fall into place. I've had a default vg as the installer creates it across a few disks. Then later my main root disk was broken and I replaced it. Now at install time I have activated all disks that I eventually wanted to use (this is s390x therefore activate disks, but from the bit I see in the crash I'd expect no other behavior if on e.g. x86 you'd replace one disk and try to re-install). What happens is that the disks I'm not installing onto still have LVM metadata. That has the "ubuntu-vg" defined and thereby crashes the install. I think we will need to harden the installer that probably needs to wipe some signatures and re-probe LVM to then get things going.
