   Seems to have screwed up the LVM info. The guilvm complains about    
   incorrect partitioning information and shows blank space where I have    
   partitions. Also tries to reassign drive letters that I'm using. Using    
   DFsee can cause a trap E in lvm.   
   Everything was fine when I created partitions to install Ubuntu into. I    
   was careful to tell Ubuntu not to format yet every disk it touched ended    
   up corrupted and all it took was an existing swap partition for Ubuntu    
   to touch the drive.   
   I've successfully installed Linux quite a few times including various    
   versions of Ubuntu in the past without any major problems.

   ps OS/2 is functioning fine even with these lvm problems
