I found a message about this exact problem from way back (7 April 2004 -- http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-autoinstall/2004-Apr/0026.html), but there wasn't an answer to it. I'm hoping that there might be one now... When running an autoinstall using a control file that has an LVM group configured in it, I consistently get an error that the Logical Volume needs more space during the software selection configuration section. =20 After that message times out, the setup process continues, then halts with an error when it tries to create the Logical Volume. The error in that case is "lvm create_lv invalid parameter". Once the second error comes up, I can manually create the Logical Volume with the standard `lvcreate -n space vg_name` command. I'm using autoyast2, and installing SuSE pro 9.2. The relevant section of the configuration file is this: <drive> <device>/dev/sdc</device> <partitions config:type=3D"list"> <partition> <lvm_group>suvg</lvm_group> <partition_type>primary</partition_type> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive> <drive> <device>/dev/suvg</device> <is_lvm_vg config:type=3D"boolean">true</is_lvm_vg> <partitions config:type=3D"list"> <partition> <filesystem config:type=3D"symbol">jfs</filesystem> <lv_name>space_lv</lv_name> <mount>/space</mount> <size>max</size> </partition> </partitions> <use>all</use> </drive>
