Hello,

Just to let you know, I do have the exact same problem when using LVM.
This one works:

  <partitioning config:type="list">
    <drive>
      <partitions config:type="list">
        <partition>
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <mount>/boot</mount>
          <size>256MB</size>
        </partition>
        <partition>
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <mount>swap</mount>
          <size>4096MB</size>
        </partition>
        <partition>
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <mount>/</mount>
          <size>max</size>
        </partition>
      </partitions>
      <use>all</use>
    </drive>
  </partitioning>

And this one does NOT work (with the same -1012 error):

  <partitioning config:type="list">
    <drive>
      <partitions config:type="list">
        <partition>
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <mount>/boot</mount>
          <size>256MB</size>
        </partition>
        <partition>
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <mount>swap</mount>
          <size>4096MB</size>
        </partition>
        <partition>
          <lvm_group>system</lvm_group>
          <size>max</size>
        </partition>
      </partitions>
      <use>all</use>
    </drive>
    <drive>
      <device>/dev/system</device>
      <lvm2 config:type="boolean">true</lvm2>
      <partitions config:type="list">
        <partition>
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">reiser</filesystem>
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <lv_name>root</lv_name>
          <mount>/</mount>
          <size>max</size>
        </partition>
      </partitions>
      <pesize>4M</pesize>
      <use>all</use>
    </drive>
  </partitioning>

That's what I wanted to ask you too...

Thank you very much,
