Description of problem: After installing Fedora from live CD, with /boot on a primary partition, swap on an extended partition and root on LVM, I end up with an incorrectly set-up initrd and grub.conf. Note the grub.conf inconsistency in the grub.conf attached: the comments correctly uses /dev/system/root_fedora but the entry written for Fedora uses LABEL=/ . According to Chris Lumens (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=238462#c8), disk labels are not even supposed to be used on logical volumes. /etc/fstab uses label as well for root, and initrd's init file is missing some LVM-related set-up lines, resulting in an inability to find the root partition on boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-8-Test-2-Live-x86_64 anaconda-11.3.0.28-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set up a disk with a partition table similar to the one described below 2. Install Fedora from live CD Actual results: LVM not set up properly, system unbootable (need to boot rescue CD, fix /etc/fstab and then recreate initrd) Expected results: LVM set up properly Additional info: Disk layout on the laptop: sda1 = Lenovo recovery partition sda2 = Windows sda3 = /boot sda5 = openSUSE /boot sda6 = reserved for CentOS sda7 = swap sda8 = LVM: /dev/system/{root_fedora,root_opensuse,local}
