FWIW, I just installed a test system in a VM.  I have a 137GB virtual disk.

I modified the partitions by deleting the configuration and creating my own.  I
created a /boot using 105000 which would be 105GB give or take.  I defined the
remaining as an LVM Physical partition and then put swap in an LVM Logical Volume
with a size of 1GB and the rest gave to /.

No crash....

Is that what you're trying to do?
