Description James Manning 2002-06-21 20:05:07 UTC 
traceback a'coming

IMHO, it looks like the restrictions on physical and logical volume names should
be a *lot* tighter - it's letting me put in \ and ! and ? and lots of other
things I can imagine will be problems, especially when I see the device that
grub lists as the boot target including those characters

Comment 2 James Manning 2002-06-21 20:35:51 UTC 
when i allowed the default names for everything, the install worked fine (well,
it's working fine, it's actually installing packages now) so I'd have to imagine
this boils down to not being restrictive enough on the characters allowed in
physical and logical volumes
Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-08-01 04:08:37 UTC 
Fixed.  Only allowing letters, digits, '.' or '_'.
Comment 4 Jay Turner 2002-09-05 13:35:14 UTC 
Looks like the restrictions are in place for re0904.1.
