Screen capture of the installer with error messages (in Finnish, sorry)

Description of problem:
I'm using the LiveCD from image: http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/live/livecd-fedora-livecd-testday-20090414-x86_64.iso
I'm trying to install it on LVM over dmraid, on a system with pre-existing Fedora 8 and Windows. I can't remove either of the old operating systems.
When trying to create a LVM / volume for F11/rawhide in an existing LVM volume group, the installer rejects all volume sizes as invalid. There's 16GB of free space in the volume group.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
11.5.0.43-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start the installer
2. Continue to the hard disk partitioning screen and choose custom partitioning
3. Try to create a LVM volume mounted as /
  
Actual results:
An error dialog tells that the entered volume size is invalid, for all sizes I try.

Expected results:
A new volume is created for installing F11.

Comment 4 Markku Kolkka 2009-04-16 14:15:39 UTC
The same error happens with rawhide boot.iso from 2009-04-16, with anaconda 11.5.0.44

Comment 5 David Lehman 2009-04-16 14:41:43 UTC
This will be fixed in anaconda-11.5.0.45-1.

Comment 6 Markku Kolkka 2009-04-19 09:27:54 UTC
Tested again with latest rawhide boot.iso and the bug doesn't occur any more.
