Public bug reported:
The existing setup is:
Quad G5, two SATA disks, various partitions (/boot etc...) directly there, one
big
MD partition on each drive. Togegher, those form a RAID0. That RAID0 is then
setup as an LVM PV into with 4 logical volumes (including root, /home, etc..)
I busted the gutsy install there (bad manipulation on my part) so I'm trying to
install
Hardy using an alternate iso snapshot as of yesterday (Mars 22, 2008).
When I do "configure RAID", then just "Finish", it detects the MD properly and
shows
it's LVM PV.
When I do "configure LVM", it discovers all the LVs, I can then go back and see
all my
logical volumes in the list.
I set their filesystem and mount points, so far so good, then I do "finish
partitionning",
at which points things go bonkers:
- First it says it will have to write the RAID 0 partition map to disk
(despite the fact
that I didn't change a thing to do).
- Then it complains that the kernel ioctl failed (invalid argument iirc) and
I'll have to
reboot. I choose "continue" as the partition map hasn't changed, so it should
all be
fine.
- Nothing happens. The installer screen is empty and nothing happens
Now if I try to go to the other VT to get some logs etc... I get nothing there,
just black
screen on a black background. The cusor blinks fine and move, but it looks like
somewhat
the installer is setting the text color of the other console as black on black !
It -seems- that it works the very first time I switch VT and only gets in that
black/black
state on subsequent switches, thus I will try to use that to see if I can get
some logs
though it might be useful to guide me (that is tell me where to look for useful
info).
