I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

partition /boot --fstype=ext3 --size=200
partition swap --fstype=swap --size=4096

partition pv.01  --size=2048 --grow
volgroup vgMain pv.01 --pesize=32768
logvol / --vgname=vgMain --size=7000 --name=root
logvol /var --vgname=vgMain --size=2048 --name=var
logvol /var/log --vgname=vgMain --size=4096 --name=varlog
logvol /data --vgname=vgMain --size=4096 --name=data --grow

Disk is a virtual 36 GB disk, newly created.

Rest of the ks-file is unchanged, but I deleted the %pre-section.

Same error again.
/dev/mapper is empty, apart from the "control" file.
If I vgscan && vgchange -ay, the devices show up.
Can you take my ks-file and try it at your site?
I'm using vmware, because it boots faster ;-)


cheers,
