Core 3 Install Problem

[Tom Arnold]

Kam,

Thanks for the reply... I suspected the LVM and tried an install without the
LVM's defined. The system now hangs while attempting to write to the disks
or fails with an exception. I'm going to try and dig out the error.

It's almost like the disks are write protected. I can see them in the CMOS,
and they appear in Anaconda... Any thoughts on what to try next?

Thanks again.
