error message in installer, screenshot

Using the installer for Mageia 3, beta 2.


Language: New Zealland
Delete all partitions on disk.
Create small /boot
Create logical volume with remaining space
Try and create an XFS or EXT4 partition on logical volume (name: root, mount point / ).

The GUI fails with the error:

"lv create failed: Failed to set a proper state for notifcation semaphore identified by cooke value 22321299 (0xd4df2a7) to initalize waiting for incoming notifications"


This is a repeatable error.

ISO: Mageia-3-beta2-x86_64-DVD.iso

Screenshots attached.

Marking this as a release blocker, because it is within the installer and makes it impossible to install using logical volumes.

Priority: Normal => release_blocker
Target Milestone: --- => Mageia 3

so hard to have it blockers

I wonder if anyone anyone has had a chance to start looking into this yet?  The links to the bugs Manuel has posted seem to be fairly old. (2011)
Comment 6 Glen Ogilvie 2013-03-11 06:35:20 CET
possibly resolved in beta3.  Testing.  Waiting for full DVD installer to test completely.

Comment 7 Dave Hodgins 2013-03-12 04:05:10 CET
Just did a test install using Mageia-3-beta3-x86_64-DVD, which is currently
undergoing qa testing, with an ext2 /boot, and ext4 / and /home, both
of which were created on a lvm physical volume.

Note that due to bug 5661, encrypted partitions on lvm logical volumes
are not working.

Closing as fixed.
