Bug description:
  Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/565947:

  Package: debian-installer
  Version: 20091215
  Severity: normal

  
  Using the guided partition mode with LVM setup might fail if the
  chosen hostname corresponds with an existing device name.

  Example:

  The hostname is set to "vcs". The name of the automatically created
  volume group is "vcs" as well then, though creation and use of it
  fail because /dev/vcs is an existing character device already.

  The *source* of the error isn't visible in the user interface but
  just in the syslog.
