Im installing CentOS5.1 on an Acer Aspire 5021 laptop with AMD Turion64 and ATI X700 128MB gfx card. I want to partition my 80MB ATA disk as LVM, so I: Choose custom partition. delete all existing partitions. add one LVM vg partition taking up entire disk. I do not change any default options. I then click the LVM button to add my logical volumes as follows: 5GB / 8GB /home 5GB /tmp 4GB /var 1GB swap all are ext3 partitions. I exit the LVM dialogue and click Next to continue with the partitioning, and... it all crashes. I get a debug error box with lots of unintelligible errors that I am completely unfamiliar with. I click OK on the error dialogue and the installation freezes and I can only power off with the button. I will probably look for this on bug tracker and log a bug report if I don't find a similar case, but I wanted to mail the list first (because it's easier) and ask if anyone knows of the issue and how to get around it?
I would suggest that you try the install by shrinking the / partition in the LVM tab and install with only / and swap ... thent you can later add /home and /tmp (and var too, though harder, if you want) after the install and see if that has any effect.
This smells like something in LVM and disk formating is not happy to me, but we need more info about the segfault to be sure.
Also, you can shift to Alt-F2, Alt-F3, Alt-F4, Alt-F5 and see what might be happening exactly so we can try and troubleshoot.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
