Title:
  LVM1 volume clobbered during installation?

Status in “lilo-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I did a test kubuntu installation on a partition I created in spare space in my
  lvm partition.  The installer offered to install lilo on the master boot record
  or in the LVM partition.  I selected the lvm partition, and afterwards the lvm
  partition was unreachable.

  Here's the layout of my hard disk

  root at shawn:~ # fdisk -l /dev/hda

  Disk /dev/hda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
  255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
  Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
  /dev/hda1               1          91      730926   82  Linux swap / Solaris
  /dev/hda2   *          92         456     2931862+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
  /dev/hda3             457        9729    74485372+   5  Extended
  /dev/hda5             457        1185     5855661   83  Linux
  /dev/hda6            1186        1671     3903763+  83  Linux
  /dev/hda7            1672        9729    64725853+  8e  Linux LVM

  Lilo was installed in /dev/hda7.  I assumed that since the installer offered the
  option, it would be safe to do so.  Now I know it wasn't and have to find a way
  to restore my volume group...
