As far as getting F18 installed, some of this is OBE because I used

testing.
However, I would like the installer to work and of all the parts that
I consider critical, storage configuration is first in line. I
believe that the best way I can duplicate the problem and get some
documentation is to replicate it virtually and get some screenshots.
mmmm I wonder if the remote display still works? I used that in the
past. Now, if only I can remember how to do it.

I am not sure how things are suppose to work but I do not see ANY

In Manual Partitioning, on the left side, you do not have an
+Unknown listing located under -New Fedora 18 Installation? Or there
are no LV's listed?
I will go back and double check but I do not remember seeing an LVs.
No Logical Volumes listed. There are only the regular partitions and
the Physical Volume partitions listed under unknown.
Did a pvscan which showed the three VGs on this system. Then I did a
lvscan which listed all of the Logical Volumes and showing them
inactive. Did a vgchange -a y <for-each-VG> and a of the LVs showed
active. I did the just after the first gui screen came up.
When I got the manual storage configuration, no LVs shown.
??
And, yes, I want to re-use previously allocated LVs for my install.
There are regular old partitions which I can use for /boot but all
of the rest of my disk space is in PVs.
What do you get for pvscan and lvscan? Are there inactive LVs?
I will need to check.
IMO, the whole way storage is being handled in F18 needs to be
rethought! Guessing how to do something should never happen.
I agree. But I think in your case the trail is leading to a bug not
flawed design.
I am sure this is a bug. However, I would like some button or
whatever "earlier" in the process that says "I know what I am doing,
let me manually configure existing partitions and/or LVs or allocate
new ones on mount points.
Getting a screenshot in anaconda does not work anymore or I would give
you one.
Suggestions?
OK, I boot up the "live" gnome desktop and used it to install. Yes, all
of the LVs were there and it figured out all of the installed/bootable
systems. I was able to manually configure and re-use partitions.
BUT, it did not offer me a choice of where to install grub2 (MBR or boot
partition) ... it did MBR which was not too bad because I could easily
recover.
