I fought with this for a day, and now am crying for help....<br><br>
The goal is 5 partitions: boot, notebook suspend, / , /home. and
swap. So I have to use LVM.<br><br>
Here are my commands:<br><br>
<br>
<pre>#System bootloader configuration
bootloader --location=mbr
#Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr yes
#Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=hda
#Disk partitioning information
part pv.1 --size 1058 --noformat
part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 --ondisk=hda
part swap --start=4603 --end=4864
part pv.6 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=hda
volgroup VolGroup00 --pesize=32768 pv.6
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=10240
logvol /home --fstype ext3 --name=home --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=25600
--grow
=================================================
I get an error of lvm cann't create the volgroup. The partitions
were created:

</pre><font face="Courier New, Courier">Note above that for the suspend
partition, part requires I have a fstype and mount, so I am 'dummying
them up and will edit the partition table later. Then run
lphdisk.<br><br>
I always can just run disk druid to create the partitions if in the end I
can't get this working. Well I have learned a lot!<br><br>
Oh, at first I did not have the -asprimary options, but the LVM partition
was created as an extended partition and things looked a little
strange. An extended partition with a LVM partition within it.<br>
