Use OpenSUSE DVD installer, select LVM partitioning scheme, installation dies
when preparing disks with error -4017

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use OpenSUSE 11.2 DVD 64bit to Install OS
2.Get to partitioning scheme - select LVM
3.Continue through installation, installation dies at preparing disks stage
Actual Results:  
Retried this with text mode installer which enabled me to switch to a working
shell console, I could see that the installer had created a boot partition, an
LVM partition and an LVM group.  But had failed to create any logical volumes 

Expected Results:  
A properly partitioned disk!

Workround was to partition manually via a shell console.
