Hey,
I'm trying to install FC5 on my x86 box, whilst maintaining an LV
group from a prior FC installation.
I have:
250GB - hda
200GB - hdc
My LVM is roughly 100GB of hda and all of hdc (resulting in a 300GB
LV). The group is already formatted using JFS (and the installer was
launched with "linux jfs" at the first screen), and has data on it
that I *need* to keep.
During the installation, I chose to do a clean install, using a
custom partition structure:
hda1 100MB /boot ext3
hda2 117GB / ext3
hda3 2GB swap
hda4-5 are part of my LV group (MediaGroup).
The partition structure is identical to the one I set up when
installing FC4, and I had done a few clean reinstalls of FC4 whilst
using this partition structure. hdc and hda4-5 are not set to be
formatted.
After selecting the packages to install, and confirming all (thus
formatting hda1-3), the installer begins, but then bails out with:
--
Error mounting device: MediaGroup/Media as /Video: invalid argument
This most likely means this partition has not been formatted.
Press OK to reboot your system.
--
Am using the latest CD ISO torrent, and my installation media has
been tested and verified.
Can anybody point me in the right direction as to what's going wrong
and where? It strikes me as an odd error message, since I
specifically asked the installer not to format the lv group!
Thanks in advance,
Ben
