Comments/Problems:
Had a bit of a hard time, largely because I was doing the install at 9600...
I wanted to do LVM, but after I'd created a partition as an LVM physical
volume and went to configure LVM, I was told that lvm-mod wasn't loaded, and
maybe I'd like to do that before continuing. So I aborted the partitioning,
went back to main menu and selected the load installer modules option, and
explicitly loaded lvmcfg (well I told it to) and tried again. I was again
told that lvm-mod wasn't loaded. As I was doing it via a serial console, I
couldn't readily swap to another VT and check (I just thought of using the
shell option from main menu, but it's a bit late now).
So I gave up and did a normal partitioning scheme. Funnily enough, after
writing out all the partitions, I got another lvm-mod not loaded message box
(the only option was to acknowledge it, so it was fairly benign). Other than
that, I don't think there were any problems.
