Bug Description
Upgrade to 6.06 64 bit from an upgraed 5.10->6.06 32 bit system, Shipped Live CD's "Install" application does not recognize existing LVM volumes.
On OLD install, fstab looks like:
> === fstab BEGIN ===
/dev/mapper/
/dev/sda1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/mapper/
/dev/mapper/
/dev/mapper/
> === fstab END ===
The "Install" application's manual paritioning, recognises the existing /boot volume and is able to retrieve info from it (used space), however other volumes are visible in top left drop-down menu, but have an exclamation marks, and doubleclicking on them, there is written, that information cannot be read from it.
In next wizard frame, none of the System-* volumes are available; only two volumes are visible the LVM "master" volume (/dev/sda2) and the /boot: /dev/sda1
Severity: Existing systems can not be upgraded without data loss.
This is a release bug.

Hi, thanks for your report.
Ubiquity doesn't support LVM at this point, and this is perhaps the expected behaviour with existing LVM volumes. You should try the alternate installer, which has LVM support.
