Public bug reported: == Comment: #0 - Michael Roesch <roes...@de.ibm.com> - 2016-01-21 07:31:16 == A DASD that has been used with and partitioned for LVM, cannot be used for installation. The installer cannot format the disk. It throws the error "An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else. The failing step is: Configure direct access storage devices (DASD)". When you just select the DASD without formatting, the installer accepts the DASD, but hangs at "Scanning disks..." at 45 percent. I have attached the syslog.
