Comments/Problems:
Just before partitioning, unavailable modules:
ide-scsi, ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-detect, ide-floppy
Partitioning goes fine, configuring the lvm goes fine,
but on leaving the lvm and starting up the partitioner,
it hangs at 56%. Only once out of many attempts did
it complete. In that case, it continued to install base
system without offering to create filesystems in the logical
volumes.
During the one run that starting the partitioner completed, I
mkdir the mount points, mkfs.ext3 the filesystems, and started
mounting. I must have shot self in foot, because I lost access
to all commands.
Shouldn't
filesystem
creation be
part of
logical
volume
creation, or at
least a
subsequent
process?
