Hello, i guess i'm doing smth very stupid, but... Here is the story: i decided to migrate to RH6 ( SL6). I run pretty old box ( 6 yo, AST160 ASPIRE) with recently added WD1.5 TB ( i doubt it makes any difference, but .. ). System has a few VGs ( LVM2) created and enabled. I'm a bit paranoid to lose my data during installation - i followed the LVM's FAQ (http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/recipemovevgtonewsys.html). Here are the steps i took and the results: 1. umount ; 2. vgchange -ay 3. vgexport 4. i commented out the VG in /etc/fstab ( just in case ). reboot - FS is not mounted, VG is inactive - so far everything as expected. reboot and load network installation, default values are picked up on the GUI installer's screen. During the HDs checking phase, anaconda terminates with the message " unalbe to activate exported VG". I googled around with not much success. The only similar issue was closed in2007 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=191879) Please advise.
