Thanks Robert. I've always used VNC for installing. Guess I will now have
to use SSH until they fix the problem.
About the workaround, after activating the disks, I usually select Format
from the [Perform Action] dropdown menu. Is that not the same as running
dasdfmt.
Can I contact you offlist so
Bernard,
my experience with LVM and SLES10 is, you can click
dasdfmt button in Expert Partitioner before you click
LVM. It will create one partition on given DASD. Click
dasdfmt for each DASD you need and then you can add
them to LVM.

Thanks to all that replied.
I've managed to create root on an LVM and I used VNC ( all gui ).
There is an outstanding item in bugzilla.novell.com , #201692, regarding
this error.
The workaround is to partition the disk first, before creating the volume
group:
Start the install and use a VNC sessio
