From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Description of problem: I have my /home partition on lvm1. The first physical volume of the volume group is on partition /dev/hda4, the second one on /dev/hdb. Note that I really mean the entire disk, there is no partition table on /dev/hdb. This worked with FC1. When trying to upgrade to FC2 test1, the installer says that it cannot find a partition table on /dev/hdb (that's correct) an asked me if it should setup one or leave the disk alone. I've chosen the second option. In the next step, the installer hangs, see attachment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Setup FC1 with lvm on entire disk. 2. Upgrade to FC2 test1. Actual Results: The installer hangs, see attachment. Expected Results: I don't think that using lvm on an entire disk is supported, but anaconda shouldn't crash if I have such a constellation. I would be nice if such things could be detected (as the lvm tools correctly detected my volume group) in future releases. Additional info:

Oh, typo in the last sentence: s/I would be nice/It would be nice/ Andreas
It's not supported (loss of the partition table information makes it really difficult to do sane things and also leads to problems in a lot of cases and so is highly not recommended). But I've fixed the traceback
OK, tested with FC2test2, works now. Thanks!
