Kam, Thanks for the reply... I suspected the LVM and tried an install without the LVM's defined. The system now hangs while attempting to write to the disks or fails with an exception. I'm going to try and dig out the error. It's almost like the disks are write protected. I can see them in the CMOS, and they appear in Anaconda... Any thoughts on what to try next? Thanks again. -- Tom Arnold, CISSP, ISSMP, CFS Partner PSC Expert services and system solutions for companies accepting or processing electronic payments PGP Fingerprint: 8BE4 B179 0E5D D141 AC96 A732 08F7 8E43 89AE 009F PGP Public Key Server: ldap://keyserver.pgp.com Direct: +1.408.228.0961 ex. 102 Mobile: +1.408.406.1758 Email: tom@xxxxxxxxx Web: http://www.paysw.com > From: Kam Leo <kam.leo@xxxxxxxxx> > Reply-To: Kam Leo <kam.leo@xxxxxxxxx>, For users of Fedora Core releases > <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Date: Tue, 1 Feb 2005 20:31:36 -0800 > To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Core 3 Install Problem > > On Tue, 01 Feb 2005 18:47:52 -0500, David Cary Hart <Fedora@xxxxxxxxxxx> > wrote: >> On Tue, 2005-02-01 at 14:33 -0800, Tom Arnold wrote: >>> I'm attempting to do an initial install on a Pentium 4 system running 1GB >>> memory and 200 GB disk. >>> >>> The install fails with this error message on each attempt.... >>> >>> File :/usr/src/build/475969-i386/install//usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line >>> 201 in setupDevice raise SystemError, "lvcreate failed for %s: %(self.name,) >>> >>> SystemError: lvcreate failed for LogVol00 >>> >>> /usr/src/build/475969-i386/install/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py(2051)setupDevic >>> e) >>> >>> -> raise SystemError, "lvcreate failed for %s" %(self.name,) >>> >> LVM is having a problem with your HD.
