Description Heinz Deinhart 2002-07-21 10:14:32 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.79 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.18lvm_reisqu i686)

Description of problem:
tried to install a lvm configuration on a system that was not
cleaned (means: other lvm stuff was on it)
i guess the lvm commands somewhere got confused by the old lvm volumes on the
system..

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


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
its hard to reproduce it, because i can not tell what exactly was on the system
before installing it
but i did never say "use the filesystem without formatting"

Actual Results:  installer crashed

Expected Results:  not to crash..

Additional info:

see the anaconda dump

Most likely, the LVM tools segfaulted. :/
