F9 Preview on ML350 G4 - Can't use LVMs

[Christopher A. Williams]

Well - there's still at least 1 problem I found.

I installed F9 Preview Release on an older HP/Compaq Proliant ML350 G4
series with a RAID5 system. The system doesn't work when using LVMs on
the RAID configured drives. It does appear to partition them correctly
and installs successfully, but then can't find any LVMs on bootup.

This system has a SMART Array Controller with 3 36GB 15,000RPM SCSI
drives in it.

If I configure partitions manually without LVMs, the system installs and
boots with no issues.

...By the way, this was also the case for F8 and earlier. F8 would just
kernel panic at startup. It's always been broken. Not sure what needs to
happen to use LVMs on a system like this, but if you need/like to do
this, it's definitely a show stopper.

Cheers,

Chris
