Hi, I was using d-i daily build for powerpc (Jan 4, 2005) to install on an Apple Dual G5 (PowerMac7,3).
I find that the LVM menu items in the installer do not work in a manner very similar to what is described in this bug report (though this report is for a x86 machine). Basically I cannot create physical volumes (using expert- too) via the menus, and the LV menus then clearly do not work. It seems that the options described in the latest installation guide (6.3.2.2, to use a partition as a PV for LVM) just do not show up! Because my hardware is really new the d-i daily build is not quite ready though a solution is in place, please see #287030 for details. This is why I don't want to write an installation report just yet. Please let me know how you want to proceed with this issue (new bug? work with this one? retitle it?). I can easily reproduce this situation, and I'm willing to spend time on it. Best regards, Shyamal
