Description of problem:
I AM ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL REDHAT 9 ONTO A MICROTEL (WALMART) PC THAT IS ALREADY
RUNNING LINUX.  USING DEFAULT VGA, WITH A GATEWAY2000 CRYSTALSCAN MONITOR.

INSTALLER GOT AS FAR AS A SEARCH FOR EXISTING REDHAT INSTALLATIONS.  REDHAT 7.3
IS ALREADY ON THE HARD DRIVE, AND RUNNING JUST FINE.  I AM ATTEMPTING TO
UPGRADE, USING THE INSTALLER IN GRAPHICAL MODE.  THE REDHAT 9 INSTALLATION CDS
HAVE BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY TO INSTALL ON OTHER BOXES.  HERE IS THE TRACE:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RedHat 9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install RedHat 9 from CD 
2.Choose default -- install in graphical mode
3.Accept all defaults in installation process, up to the point where the
installer checks for existing installation
    

Actual Results:  Installation crashes with error trace above.  

Expected Results:  Installation should have proceeded with info about existing OS

Additional info:

It seems to have something to do with the video setup.

You should be able to work around by removing the existing partition table
before beginning your install -- it's triggering something that the LVM tools
don't like.  I've made some changes to be less sensitive to the LVM tools not
liking your partition table in our current codebase.
