FWIW, I just installed a test system in a VM. I have a 137GB virtual
disk.
I modified the partitions by deleting the configuration and creating
my own. I
created a /boot using 105000 which would be 105GB give or take. I
defined the
remaining as an LVM Physical partition and then put swap in an LVM
Logical Volume
with a size of 1GB and the rest gave to /.
No crash....

Is that what you're trying to do?
No. What I'm dealing with is a naked, never-before-seeing-fedora disk.
(there are a couple of ntfs partitions put there by the manufacturer.
I'm allocating the remaining space.) I've done this with earlier
Fedoras without any problems.
