Bug Description
I am installing from the Dapper 6.06.1 i386 "server" CD on a low-memory system.
When I mistakenly selected hda6 (actually by BIOS hibernation area) as "use as LVM physical disk", I could no longer change it. At first I tried to change it to "don't use this partition" but to no avail, it still said "lvm" in the table. Then I tried "undo changes to partitions" but that, too, was unsuccessful. In the end I rebooted the installer in order to recover.
Sorry if "partman" is the wrong package, this is what I'm seeing in the log on virtual terminal #4 so I'm guessing this is the package responsible for the partitioning task in the installer.

I haven't tested it yet, but I'm hoping that this should be a lot smoother in Edgy; a good deal of work has been done on partman-lvm there.
