Created attachment 410645 [details] Dump generated by the installer after crashing Description of problem: After doing a custom partitioning in order to install RHEL 6 beta on an existing volume group, anaconda crashes when formatting a new logical volume (lv_rhel in vg_alma_safe) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RHEL 6 Beta 20100414 How reproducible: I guess this would always happen again but I am not extremely keen to try and try again if there are issues at LVM level, because I have quite a lot of data on this development computer that would be painful to lose. Steps to Reproduce: 1. with the settings described in bug #585839 2. perform a custom partitioning with an ext3 /boot partition on a primary partition of one of the disks and a / partition on a new logical volume (lv_rhel) on a software RAID5 based volume group (vg_alma_safe) Actual results: Installation crashes Expected results: Installation should proceed Additional info: Anaconda dump generated by the installer attached

Could not reproduce this with the 20100428 nightly DVD.
With RHEL6.0-20100511.3: I've installed using the steps to reproduce from comment #0 (virtual system, 4 disks, same partitioning but with smaller disk sizes) and install completed successfully. Wrt comment #4 I'll close this.
I confirm that I could install RHEL 6 Beta 2 without problem on this hardware settings (writing this from the freshly installed system). Thanks for your efforts.
