Description of problem: With previous version of RHEL, I could easily install to any of the cciss disks. Attempts to install RHEL 5.4 that did not included the first cciss disk failed when attempting to partition the disk. Error: The following errors occurred with your partitioning: Logical volume size must be larger than the volume group's physical extent size. Press 'OK' to reboot your system. I was able to install by doing a custom configuration. Unknown if this is only with cciss disks or would a system that had multiple disk of a different type would also see it. When I select the first disk cciss/c0d0 I did not have any errors Also, not sure if this would happen with a non-graphical install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 5.4 How reproducible: With my limited configuations, I was able to repeat using DVD or PXE. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Please attach /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/syslog to this bug report.
Since the install failed, I had to press okay which rebooted the system. Upon the install that did work, the logs in /var/log seem uninteresting and unrelated.
But you can switch to tty2 before rebooting and grab the log files then from the failed install.
