8.2 gold, expert mode. Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller Seagate Cheetah X15 18.4GB HDD
I created a volume group comprising the entire 18GB disk. I went to the second tab (rootvg) and created some filesystems. Of course, I knew / doesn't go on an LVM, but I was just checking to see if the installer knew that. Full marks - it does, and doesn't allow it. While still on the vg tab I clicked the 'clear all' button, which cleared the references to the filesystems, and I returned to the first tab to reallocate my disk properly. The LVM partition wouldn't remove. This effectively prevents the install from continuing until the machine is rebooted. Further, now clicking on the unallocated space on rootvg caused an error of divide by zero. I surely hope someone appreciates how long it took me to hand-copy all of the following console information. Take into account linewrap.
