What physical extent size did you use for the volume you created?

Here is my full LVM config info attached (PE=1M). So, for the record, I resize my old root partition LogVolRoot by hand (resize2fs and lvreduce) and create the second root partition LogVolRoot2 (lvcreate and mkfs.ext3). Then during the installation I select the LogVolRoot2 partition and click "Edit", then crash. It was the same when I tried to edit one of the others. It also crashes when I create a fresh new layout on another disk but keep the two lvm disks active. But in this configuration it crashes when I clicked 'Next' (Not sure if it is the same bug). I finally manage to install FC6 after disabling the two disks and only keep the one with the fresh new layout. I will try to install FC6 on my home machine with the same config but the LVM is on one disk only and PE=4M. I will come back and tell you if the problem occurs again.
Created attachment 139520 [details] My home LVM config (pvdisplay, vgdisplay and lvdisplay) Come back from my second test, it works fine with 1 disk and PE=4M. Maybe an important note to add, this time it was done in text mode since my #!§%@# ATI card has been detected as a Matrox Millenium by anaconda and thus the install fall back in text mode.
Yeah, this only fails if your PE size is 1 MB due to some sloppy python code. I've committed a fix to Rawhide. A workaround for you is to simply use any other PE size. Thanks for your help in debugging this.
