 Guided partitioning of LVM and/or RAID-1 would fail with:

 kernel: ioctl32(parted_server:23148): Unknown cmd fd(9)
 cmd(41a04403){01} arg(ffa30938) on /dev/foo

 Only by manually setting up all partitions, RAID volumes, LVM
 physical/group/logical volumes, was I able to progress with a working
 LVM + RAID-1 system.

I guess this is basically a follow-up to your report #443272?

Good to hear you found a workaround for this issue. How exactly did you do 
the manual partitioning, especially the partitions on the physical device? 
I mean, what command did you use for that?

Cheers,

Eh, sorry, that should have been #462691.

No, bug report #462691.

I used the partman tool, but experimented with what partitions to 
create until I found one that worked. So, I figured the result should 
be recorded somewhere as at least one known working partitioning 
scheme, even though the guided partitioner didn't arrive there.

It seems that yaboot refuses to boot the kernel from any RAID or LVM 
partition, so I had to keep the /boot partition separate from RAID :-(
