 My suggestion to Bob is he brings also pencil and paper and takes lots of notes on what was done and what worked and what didn't and what else might be tried.

Installers,

Accompanied by a less than knowledgeable owner.

Fedora 30. Tomorrow night.

Problem preview:

Installing Fedora 30 Workstation on my computer, I get the following:

[ OK ] Started Show Plymouth Boot Screen.

. . .

[ OK ] Started Monitoring of LVM2ë dmeventd or progress polling.

[Failed] Failed to start LVM2 PV scan on device 8:18.

See 'systemctl statuslvm2-pvscan at 8:18.service' for details.

[Failed] Failed to start LVM2 PV on device 259:3.

See 'systemctl statuslvm2-pvscan at 259:3.service' for details.

[Failed] Failed to start LVM2 PV on device 259:2.

See 'systemctl statuslvm2-pvscan at 259:2.service' for details.

[Failed] Failed to start LVM2 PV on device 8:3.

See 'systemctl statuslvm2-pvscan at 8:3.service' for details.

[ OK ] Started udev Wait for Complete Device Initialization.

[ OK ] from here on

...............................................................

This system previously ran Fedora 30. I swapped out 2 spin drives for
a new spin drive and an SSD because one of the old drives developed a
bad sector. A pair of M.2's are also in the system. All four old
components were previously operating under Fedora 30. The only way I
can get the system to install and boot now is to install only on the
spin drive, leaving the M.2's and the SSD unutilized.

I think I need also to get the SSD recognized as sda, but that is the least of my problems presently.

Regards,
Bob
