I tried the partitioning now for several ours and found a working config for xenial.
---- bootloader --location=mbr clearpart --initlabel --drives sda partition --size 1000 --asprimary --fstype ext4 /boot partition --size 8000 --grow --asprimary pv.local volgroup local pv.local logvol --name root --vgname local --size 10000 --maxsize 100000000 --fstype ext4 / logvol --name swap --vgname local --size 4096 --maxsize 100% swap preseed partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name string local ---- I encountered the following traps: 1. Without "clearpart" the preseed of "partman-auto/method" is not set to "lvm" 2. the name in "volgroup" is ignored and has to be added separately with the preseed of "partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name string local" 3. the "asprimary" at "pv.local" is ignored and a extended partition is created. Number 2: could be treated as a "bug" and I assume it can be fixed by adding one line in "volgroup.sh" Number 3: is probably not the fault of "kickseed", but I couldn't find out why partman ignores this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475864 Title: Unable to kickstart with LVM partition scheme.
