Description Joe Shmoe 2012-09-09 13:44:38 CEST

This was a wired network install with the graphical installer.

This was on an old Centrino laptop with a single harddisk.

There was nothing relevant on tty4, but this was on tty3:

(Please note this output is from my first attempt. I had the graphical installer keep the boot partition, which existed from a previous install, and delete the only other pre-existing partition. I tried to create an encrypted LVM.

On my second attempt, I got the same result; this time trying to create an unencrypted LVM in free space.)

lvcreate failed: Abortin. Failed to wipe start of new LV

I'm experiencing a similar issue trying to install mageia 3 alpha 1 into a virtual machine using the dvd x86_64.

The virtual hard disk was already partitioned using lvm.

I've previously removed all the logical volumes, removed the volume group and the lvm partition. Then it fails while trying to create the first new lv.

Comment 2 Joe Shmoe 2012-09-23 21:05:54 CEST

Related, I guess: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5505#c13

On the other ttys, there was nothing relevant, except for a repetition of the INTERNAL ERROR text you see in the first screenshot.

Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-24 19:43:10 CET

can one of you too reproduce this bug with a netinstall or the alpha3 ?
personnaly I'm not (with a netinstall)

(but still see some other lvm bugs, already reported, checking all of them..)

Cannot reproduce either, with current cauldron boot-nonfree.iso x86_64.

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-24 21:25:57 CET

ok thanks, hope it will be better for the others bugs too :)
