Since I know exactly how I want to lay out the partitions, is there a way I
can boot from CD, and get into Disk Druid to set the partitions and do the
formating. Then when I come to the install just select to keep the drive
how it is?
And I have to have LVM....
You could hit ALT-F2 and set everything up from the console by hand
(including formatting) and then just tell disk druid _not_ to format.
I haven't tried that, but it feasibly might work...
What hardware are you on? And what error are you getting exactly on
format?
Ray
yeah... that'll work too.
It sounds like there's either something weird with the media being used
to install from, or there's something wrong with the disk the system is
being installed onto.
