Description of problem: 1. Burn-in tested the two 300 GB disks twice each. 2. Started Fedora Core 4 installation. 3. Used Disk Druid to create 3 MD RAID1 arrays: md0 --> 512MB /boot md1 --> 8GB swap md2 --> ~250GB LVM --> VolGroup0 4. On VolGroup0 I created one 20GB volume named Dom0Vol. 5. Finished Fedora Core 4 installation. 6. Started Konsole, entered: lvcreate --snapshot --name FC4_install --size 10g -pr /dev/VolGroup0/Dom0Vol 7. Done - now nothing works, most binaries yield "cannot execute binary file", clicking anything on the desktop yields "ELF header not found" (or some such). Additional info: Hardware is a brand new HP DL145, with an added Silicon Image 3114 SATA controller and two Maxtor 300 GB SATA MaxLine III harddrives. Since installing more than 5 GB of applications went without a glitch, and so did the initial bootup of the system, I'm pretty sure that it's the 'lvcreate' I did that screwed things up. Reproduction recipe: I'd rather not try and reproduce it :-). I think I'll try Gentoo and EVMS instead, heh. But let me know what you need to fix it if there's anything I can do before I nuke it from the face of the earth..
