  Installing to HDD with previous ubuntu fails to create fresh LVM

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  I have a ubuntu 7.10 beta server I'd like to reinstall from scratch.
  During the disk partitioning, I'd opted for "Guided - Use entire disk
  and setup LVM" Part way through it informed me that the volume group
  name was already in use. Surely this option should setup a new LVM
  instance and use the entire disk, even if a LVM instance already
  existed?

  How can I blank this without manually having to create volumes? I
  think this is a bug
