I had some problems installing RC2 on my Sparc (SunBlade 1000), when I chose the Guided partitioning with LVM option. The machine failed to boot after reboot at the end of the installation. It looks like the LVM volumes are set up correctly, however the initramfs script scripts/local-top/lvm2 which is supposed to start the volumes up is not getting invoked. If I run it by hand, the device nodes in /dev/mapper get created, and I can exit initramfs shell to successfully complete the boot. This machine needs firmware loaded from the USB stick, and this causes (known?) issues: if I insert the stick to load the firmware, and then remove it immediately after the loading step, the real disk is still detected as /dev/sdb, and that's what gets written to the configuration. So if I later boot without the stick, the disk is detected as /dev/sda, causing problems. Amusingly, I can boot when using LVM, because /boot is a separate (non-LVM) partition and is only used to only read kernel and initrd, however filesystem check for /dev/sdb1 (which is /boot) fails, as device does not exist.
