Ubuntu 11.10 Install with LVM

Having some problems with Fedora 16 that I didn't feel like dealing with, so I downloaded the Ubuntu

11.10 LiveCD. Booted up my netbook with the USB CDROM just fine and started the install.... Crap! It's not finding my LVMs! Well, it turns out, lvm2 isn't loaded on the regular LiveCD, I'd have to download the alternate CD, which means I'd have to burn a new CD and I'm cheap and don't want to do that... Here's how I got it to install:

1. Fortunately, wifi works perfectly, so I configured it to connect to my router (the installer guided me through this part)
2. Enter a terminal:
   

   sudo apt-get install lvm2
   modprobe dm-mod
   vgchange -a y

3. Choose to do a custom partition install, and boom! all my lv's where there! Fortunately, I left a Fedora 14 root lv so I could boot into Fedora 14 and use system-config-lvm to make an Ubuntu root lv... Don't use the lvm cli enough to remember what to do... ;)
4. The instructions I was using said: DO NOT PRESS Restart Now... But I didn't read that far ahead... Instead, I restarted and realized Ubuntu could not access my LVMs since lvm2 was not installed... Boot back into the LiveCD again, do step #2 above, then continue.
5. Mount the new root:
   

   sudo mkdir /mnt/root
   sudo mount /dev/mapper/vg_kelvin-lv_ubuntu_root /mnt/root
   sudo mount /dev/sda5 /dev/root/boot # assuming /dev/sda5 is your boot partition
   sudo chroot /mnt/root

6. Next, install lvm2 on your new root partition:
   

   apt-get -y install lvm2

7. Hopefully you'll see some info about it updating your initrd.img, which means lvm2 is being added to it.
8. Now reboot and hope for the best!
