I fought with this for a day, and now am crying for help....
The goal is 5 partitions: boot, notebook suspend, / , /home. and
swap. So I have to use LVM.
Here are my commands:
#System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr
#Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr yes
#Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=hda
#Disk partitioning information
part pv.1 --size 1058 --noformat
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 --ondisk=hda
part swap --start=4603 --end=4864
part pv.6 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=hda
volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.6
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=10240
logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=home --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=25600 --grow
=================================================
I get an error of lvm cann't create the volgroup. The partitions were created:
hda1 4603 4864 2104515 82 linux swap
hda2 * 1 13 104391 83 linux
hda3 14 148 1084387+ 83 linux
hda4 149 4602 35776755 8e linux LVM
Note above that for the suspend partition, part requires I have a
fstype and mount, so I am 'dummying them up and will edit the
partition table later. Then run lphdisk.
I always can just run disk druid to create the partitions if in the
end I can't get this working. Well I have learned a lot!
Oh, at first I did not have the -asprimary options, but the LVM
partition was created as an extended partition and things looked a
little strange. An extended partition with a LVM partition within it.
