Seems to have screwed up the LVM info. The guilvm complains about 
incorrect partitioning information and shows blank space where I have 
partitions. Also tries to reassign drive letters that I'm using. Using 
DFsee can cause a trap E in lvm.
Everything was fine when I created partitions to install Ubuntu into. I 
was careful to tell Ubuntu not to format yet every disk it touched ended 
up corrupted and all it took was an existing swap partition for Ubuntu 
to touch the drive.
I've successfully installed Linux quite a few times including various 
versions of Ubuntu in the past without any major problems.

ps OS/2 is functioning fine even with these lvm problems
