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?
Um. I'll try the Alt-F2. But the formatting was AFTER all the selection
steps. What I want is just format. Then I will leave it as is...
And if the format fails again, maybe I will learn more than 'critical
formatting error, install aborting' or words similar!
Oh, and this IS a test machine to get a kickstart file from....
