Description of problem: Installing from F7 KDE i686 LiveCD to LVM PV. Selected "Create custom layout", edit /dev/sda1 for /boot (preserve), select VolGroup00/LogVol02, then Edit. Window pops up "Not enough physical volumes", stating "At least one unused physical volume partition....." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Once, so far. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Edit the LV for / in a multiboot grub system. Additional info:
Hmm. On my Opteron server, I'm able to edit lvm partitions as I would expect - not sure what differences to look for... server has several vg's over two 160 GB SATA disks (Vendor: ATA Model: ST3160812AS), whereas the desktop system (AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1900+) has a single vg/hd (Model=WDC WD400BB-00FJA0).
Simple enough work-around : set the partition type to 8e (Linux LVM). The partition type had been 83 (Linux), so parted thinks no lvm partitions are available, even though lvm had already activated the volume group just fine and presented the partitions to me for the custom layout. I think a better solution would be consistency - surely I should be able to edit the custom layout that anaconda itself presented to me....

I've just tested this on F-8 Test 1 and it's working fine. Thanks for the report.
