Kickstart with partitions specified still pops up the partition menu on install

[Andy Delcambre]

Using the dapper version of debian-installer from source, I am rebuilding the mini.iso, the only change I have made from the stock d-i, is the addition of the nfs kernel module udeb.

When I specify a drivemap in the kickstart, the installer pops up the dialog for partitioning the disk. If you pick the default and say "Erase entire disk and automatically partition" it uses the drivemap. Selecting lvm on the menu breaks the install.

Here is a sample kickstart file which breaks this.

install

reboot

xconfig --depth=24 --defaultdesktop=GNOME --startxonboot

Just tested with the most recent stock mini.iso and saw the same problem. Was not caused by my rebuilding of mini.iso

I'm pretty sure that this is the same as bug 40186, which I recently fixed. Could you try tomorrow's daily build and let me know if it still doesn't work? Thanks.

From #ubuntu-devel:

<dAndy_> Kamion: re #38111 the new package fixed it for me, the bug is already marked as a duplicate, do I need to do anything else?

No, that's fine. Thanks for re-testing!
