Nope, sorry :-(
Here's what I get after starting the manual partitioning option:

I do not see the options to configure RAID or LVM. When I mark SCSI 0,
primary #2 and/or SCSI 1, primary #1 for use as PV for LVM then the
option to configure LVM appears. But before I can use that option it
says that the partitioning tables for bot SCSI's have changed and it
wants to write the changes to disk. I am afraid it will destroy the
existing LVM because I told it to use those two partitions as PV's.
Are there perhaps options that I should give to the installer at boot
time in order to use existing LVM's?
The machine in question is a HP ProLiant ML370 G3. The existing Etch-xen
install and LVM was made with the D-I daily build of 10 March 2007. The
installer I use to install plain Etch now is the RC2 build downloaded 22
March 2007.
