Comments/Problems:
The partitioner gives me the option to do LVM, which is cool, so i tried to use
it. I emptied the partition-table of the harddisk, made one partition and told
it to be a LVM physical volume. Next, i go to the LVM config -> Volume groups ->
Create VG. It then says there are no available PV's (in some other words). While
i just made one. I had to execute on the console:
pvcreate /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
Then it worked.
Also, before we are allowed in the LVM config, the partitioner asks if it should
write the changes to the disk (actually, it tells you it has to be done and
allows you to go back). I suppose that's where it goes wrong, that step should
issue the 'pvcreate' command, i think.
Good luck. :)
