Description of problem: While upgrading from RHEL4 to RHEL5, I was attempting to preserve three volume groups and the logical volumes they contained. Anaconda would only permit me to set up one volume group using all three physical devices. There was a window with check boxes, implying that I could deselect some of the physical devices, but Anaconda wouldn't allow me to uncheck them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.2.250-1.i386 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an RHEL4 system with more than one volume group and several non-system logical volumes. For example, in my case PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/cciss/c0d0p2 rhel lvm2 a-- 136.56G 28.56G /dev/cciss/c0d1p1 vg02 lvm2 a-- 279.36G 35.36G /dev/cciss/c0d2p1 vg03 lvm2 a-- 136.70G 0 rhel (volume group) juur (logical volume, "juur" = Estonian for "root") swap0 u01 vg02 install (logical volume) u02 u03 vg03 u04 2. Attempt to fresh-install RHEL5 on that system and preserve all of the non-system logical volumes Actual results: I was unable to preserve the three volume groups and I was also unable to ignore two of the physical volumes using the graphical interface. Expected results: The graphical interface should provide me some way of preserving the non-system logical volumes. In particular, I should be able to select only one of the physical volumes discovered - something similar to the kickstart option "ignoredisk --only-use=cciss/c0d0". Additional info: I was able to work around this by setting up a kickstart file with the following options: ignoredisk --only-use=cciss/c0d0 part /boot --fstype=ext3 --onpart cciss/c0d0p1 part pv.01 --noformat --onpart cciss/c0d0p2 volgroup rhel pv.01 --noformat logvol /u01 --noformat --name=u01 --vgname=rhel logvol / --useexisting --fstype=ext3 --name=juur --vgname=rhel logvol swap --useexisting --fstype=swap --name=swap0 --vgname=rhel
