RE: Preseed issues with LVM/Keyboard configuration unattended/pxe install
The last thing it says before the prompt for the keyboard comes up is:
Menu item 'console-setup-udeb' selected
And the last thing it does before telling me that it can't remove the LVM is activate the logical volume groups.
The setting you mentioned below had no impact but I appreciate you taking the time to assist me.
Thank you,
-Drew

The way to fix problems of prompts you don't want to see, is to set:
DEBCONF_DEBUG=5
on the kernel command line, and then when a prompt comes up, flip to the
Ctrl-Alt-F4 console (where the syslog is being displayed) and you're very likely to see something about the name of the question that was just displayed.
You may find the basic settings I use helpful (although I've not spent a lot of effort updating them for jessie, so it may contain irrelevant stuff as well as whatever is needed):

'partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm' seems like it might be useful to you.
Cheers, Phil.
