Comments/Problems:
I downloaded the http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ i386 image first, but kept
getting 'Loading isolinux: Disk error 29, AX=420E, drive 9F' errors. Then I noticed I was only
pulling 10Mb. I switched to
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040728/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
after that and the rest of this install report is for the 20040728 iso.
I was replacing a previous SuSE 8.1 notebook with debian sarge. I prefer to use LVM (one
of the reasons I had been running SuSE), and typically make the Volume Group called 'system'.
I went through the repartitioning by first removing all the partitions, then adding back in a
root, swap, and two LVM physical volumes. When it came time to declare a volume group however,
the name system failed. The error messgages on the third console suggest the issue being that
the system booted and detected the original 'system', and refused to creat another
"A volume group called 'system' alread exists."
I'm not sure if I would have experienced this error had I *first* deleted the volume group and
*then* repartitioned the drive. I'm afraid it is too late to try that now since the drive is
already repartitioned. I worked around this be simply calling my Volume Group 'sys'.
This is my third use of the installer for LVM and things keep getting smoother. I'm not sure if
you've fixed things in the LVM logic or perhaps I'm just becoming more experienced with it -
but its PROGRESS!
Thanks for all your efforts.

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
