Failed to install: unable to create volume group

[r479]

Hi...

I am trying to install Proxmox VE, I checked versions 1.3, 1.2, 1.1, but it fails right at the begining of installation with message "unable to create volume group at /usr/bin/proxinstall line 519".

I checked second terminal:
------

Seems that there is an old version of pve on the disk.

A volume group called 'pve' already exists

Please wipe your disk with some other tool.
