Description of problem: Installing RHEL3 U2 using NFS with GUI and using LVM does not work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose NFS install method 2. Create /boot as ext3 partition on dasda 3. Create LVM PV using remaining space 4. Define VG for / (ext3) 5. Configure remaining install options to your preference 6. When the installer gets to the point where it sets up the partitions and begins formating, anaconda will have an exception error . Actual results: The LVM configuration is being created on the initial installer image, instead of on the new system image. For example, if you defined a PV on /dev/dasda called 'rootvg' in disk druid, it creates the following: /dev/rootvg/group Expected results: It should have created: /mnt/sysimage/dev/rootvg/group Additional info: None
I just re-read my original comments are realized how confusing they are. It was a long Friday and I was doing too many things at the same time I guess... My configuration was with 2 dasd devices (a and b). I used these two devices to create a physical volume. There was only one volume group, 'rootvg'. I first tried to create a number of logical volumes such as 'lvroot' for /, 'lvhome' for /home, 'lvopt' for /opt, etc. It would get to the point where it would create the PV and the VG, but would fail on creating the LV's. Anaconda would error with unable locate /dev/rootvg/lvroot. I was able to get the install to complete by manually configuring lvm from the installation image shell and only configuring a single LV, 'lvroot'. After I did this, I could re-start the installation and only had to define the mount points in disk druid as it had the vlm configuation I defined manually. After this, no exception errors. It formatted lvroot and installed all the packages.
This works for me here. Can you please provide the exception you receive?

This should be fixed in update 3.
