Comments/Problems:
During the hardware detection phase I received an error from modprobe
regarding the inability to load the module ide-disk. However, this did
not cause any further problems (at least it seems so).
The LVM module did not work very well. I had to create manually a physical
volume with pvcreate. Moreover, I tried without success to install with the
root partition in LVM. The first part of the installation worked ok, but
I was not able to boot on the newly installed system.
