I fought with this for a day, and now am crying for help....

The goal is 5 partitions:  boot, notebook suspend, / , /home. and swap.    So I have to use LVM.

Here are my commands:


#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:


hda1    
        4603
    4864
    2104515 
        82
      linux swap
hda2    *
       1
       13
      104391
  
        83
      linux
hda3    
        14
      148
     1084387+
        83
      linux
hda4    
        149
     4602
    35776755
        8e
      linux LVM
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.

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!

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.
