I am trying to install CentOS 4.6 to a pair of 750GB hard drives. I can successfully install to either of the drives as a single drive, but when I try to use both drives and mirror the partitions, I start having problems. Anaconda crashes as it is trying to format the drives.
This is what I'm trying to create:
/dev/md0: 200MB, /boot /dev/md1: 2GB, swap /dev/md2: rest of the drive, LVM PV LogVol00: 10GB, / LogVol01: rest of the VG, /home
Thanks for all the suggestions! I tried a few of them. They didn't solve the problem, but they did help me find it.
When I tried to run the install without LVM, I still got the same anaconda crash (referencing vgremove). I realized that anaconda was trying to remove the volume groups that already existed on the drives. Once I erased all of the partition information on the drives with fdisk, I was able to do a normal install with LVM.
