Hi,
If I try to use lvm with autoinstall with SuSE 8.0, the partitions
in thelvm_group will not get formatted and the hd-partition used
for the pv will not get initialized.
Thanks for tips
 Felix
My config file looks like this
...
...

  <drive>
   <device>/dev/hda</device>

    <partition>
     false

     ext3</filesystem>
     131
     true</format>
     <mount>/</mount>
     <size>300M</size>
     <type>Linux native</type>
    </partition>
    <partition>
     false

     ext3</filesystem>
     131
     true</format>
     <mount>/boot</mount>
     <size>50M</size>
     <type>Linux native</type>
    </partition>
    <partition>
     false

     swap</filesystem>
     131
     true</format>
     <mount></mount>
     <size>100M</size>
     <type>Linux native</type>
    </partition>
    <partition>
      <size>auto</size>
      system
      primary
    </partition>
I think the Problem is here while creating the LVM physical volume..
As described in the docs:
" Partition sizes can be given in Gigabytes, Megabytes or can be set to
a flexible value using the keywords auto and max. max is used to fill a
partition to the maximal available space on a drive. auto can be used to
determine the size of a swap or boot partitions which depend on memory
and type of system. "

auto can only be used for /boot and swap.

max does make sense only when creating the last partition when you want
to add all available space  (what used to be 0 in alice
and yast1) to the current partition.

Please try with a fixed value.
