After step 3d. as defined above, Anaconda again bails out just before actually beginning package installation : "Error mounting device VolGroup00/LogVol00_root as /: No such file or directory This most likely means this partition has not been formatted. Press OK to reboot your system." Switching again to console, "# lvm.static lvscan" reveals all LV's to be inactive. Argh ! Anaconda/LVM looks like an FC7 showstopper to me. (rhetorical question : How long exactly has LVM been part of anaconda / Disk Druid ?) Can you attach /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/syslog from when it fails? Jeremy, while attempting to install FC7t4, I was unable to scp /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/syslog (no network). However, I manually quoted the relevant (only tailed, unfortunately) info from those files in my original bug report. Meanwhile, FC7t4 has been installed, by switching to console and executing "# lvm.static vgchange -a y" after package dependencies are resolved and just before actual package installation (which obviously succeeds LV formatting and/or mounting). If needed, I could start a reinstall in a fresh (unformatted and unmounted, to expose the flaw) root LV partition. When starting a second FC7t4 install in a newly assigned (unformatted) root LV on the same disk (that is : with existing / , /home and /var LV's), a new issue does occur : the new root LV seems to get formatted (which did not happen with a fresh disk), but "mini-wm" crashes, and the install exists abnormally. No logs, as all filesystems got unmounted as part of the shutdown process immediately after the crash. Comment #2 : Retested on a brand new Dell Latitude D820 (with 2 NTFS partitions present), the same issue reproducibly occurs : GUI : "An error occured trying to format VolGroup00/LogVol00_root. This problem is serious, and the install cannot continue. Press <Enter> to reboot your system." Console :"mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) Could not stat /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00_root --- No such file or directory The device apparantly does not exist; did you specify it correctly ?" In attachment both /tmp/syslog and /tmp/anaconda.log Created attachment 154723 [details]

Second run with the Dell D820 : 1. The LVM partitions have been created in the first run (see above, comment #5) ; in Disk Druid, they are now simply assigned / , /var and /home (and ext3-formatted, to remove the "foreign" assignation left from the first run). 2. After package selection, FC7t4 starts formatting / (VolGrp00_LogVol00_root), but crashes when trying to mount the LVM volume : GUI : "Error mounting device VolGroup00/LogVol00_root as /: No such file or directory This most likely means this partition has not been formatted. Press OK to reboot your system." (identical to comment #1) In attachment, /tmp/syslog , /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/lvmout . Created attachment 154728 [details]
