What Happened?

Hello,

When I'm on the Elementary OS 8.0 ‘live’ session (elementaryos-8.0-stable.20241122rc.iso), I launch the installation, connect WiFi, select the French language, the appropriate keyboard, the installation disk, automatic partitioning (but without encryption).

When I click on ‘Install’, I get this error quickly and systematically :
vgcreate failed with with status: 5 (Input/output error (os error 5))

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Boot on Live USB
  2. Launch installation
  3. Connect WiFi, select language and keyboard setup
  4. Select installation drive
  5. Select automatic partitioning
  6. Select "no encryption"
  7. Select installation with or without proprietary drivers (I tested both)
  8. Click install

Expected Behavior

Installation OK

OS Version

8.x (Circe)

Classic Session (X11, This is the default)

Software Version

UPDATE : I successfully manage to install Elementary OS on my laptop by :

  • Going to custom install
  • Suppress all partitions thru GParted
  • Format the (last and principal) LVM one to EXT4
  • Suppress this last partition
  • Go back and launch installation by default

The thing is : the previous system on my laptop was Elementary OS 7.1 and I already did the partitioning and installation by default 🤔
