Bug Description
I have a 40GB HDD on my Toshiba Tecra A2 with partitions table configured as follows:
root@tosia:
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40007761920 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4864 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 1020 8193118+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda2 1021 1472 3630690 83 Linux
/dev/hda3 1473 4864 27246240 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 1473 1594 979933+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/hda6 1595 4864 26266243+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

However during install from Feisty Herd2 alternate ISO I've noticed following errors:
1. there is no manual partitioning option
2. other options see only swap partitions and there is still no manual re-partition option after automatic partitioning (although it should be there)
3. if i choose first option "cd-<something>" - sorry but i can't remember this option name right now - I get just a strange report which doesn't look like partition list at all
P.S. The same happened with herd1 alternate iso and network install from PXE. There were no problems with Dapper, or Edgy betas.

Some additional info:
1. There is no problem with gparted from Desktop CD (only text-mode partitioning doesn't work correctly)
2. After dist-upgrade from Edgy to Feisty both fdisk and parted work correctly
There are 3 photos of my laptop screen in attachment:
- feisty_part_01.jpg shows first screen during partitioning
- feisty_part_02.jpg shows screen after choosing cdrom-retreiver
- feisty_part_03.jpg shows screen after choosing "No" and then "Go back"
