to be more specific.    it gets all the way through the formatting the 
disk thing like a normal install, then I get a popup...

[   Unable to mount filesystem ]
==============================================================
     (lightbulb)   An error occurred mounting device 
/dev/mapper/vg_new-lv_root
                          as /: mount failed: (9, None).  This is a 
fatal error
                          and the install cannot continue.

                          Press <Enter> to exit the installer.

                                               [OK]
