Looks like something did not go well while it
appeared
everything did. I should first check with a
rescue cd
or install dvd to see that it finds valid
filesystem
and then report back.
Yeah, that would be a good first step. If it does, grab the initrd and attach it to a bug against mkinitrd
I booted into rescue mode and everything seems correct. The image is there.

Another point is that /dev/sda6 is a LVM physical volume. Maybe the kernel or initrd are missing support for that?

/dev/sda5 was an unformatted piece of the disk that was left there I do not know why. When I retried the installation, I removed the swap and all empty nonformated partitions keeping only the first two partitions. Installation worked the next time around.
I have redone this installation and it has worked. Got some other problems like sound not working. Will get back to ask questions when needed.
Regards,
Antonio

Does anyone know how to get the liveCD install to recognise external USB drives? I have tried it and the only way it recognises the external drive is to use a manual modprobe after boot.

There is a udev workaround I use in rawhide ATM to see usb disks at boot time here:

It's not Live CD specific
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238092
Even though I've marked this as a blocker bug I've got exactly zero responses so far.

I've just had one asking me to "attach the output of dmesg". This means I need to rebuild my box again (I don't do dual boot)! I will do so but it will be tomorrow before I can respond. Ridiculous, especially since, as seems likely, that this problem must be known.
