Bug Description
Binary package hint: partman-lvm
I try to install Ubuntu Edgy Beta using LVM partitions, so I downloaded the alternative install CD. However when I select "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" at "Partitioning Disks", the display just flashes and shows up the same page again. At console 4, everything looks ok:
partman-lvm: PV /dev/sda7 VG laptopvg lvm2
...
...
partman-lvm: Reading all physical volums .... found volume group "laptopvg" using metadata type lvm2 ....
no errors or warnings there.

Colin,
i have noticed this too. It seems that neither partman-lvm or partman-raid can access their submenus if there are no changes to commit on the disk layout.
It looks to me like the question that ask "In order to go further you need to commit the changes to disk! <yes> <no>" is doing something wrong. Note that the question is not shown when there are no changes to commit, but you get set back on the partman menu.
Once there is a change the commit, the question shows up and you are presented with the submenus for lvm/raid
