Colin,

I believe the problem is with elilo-installer.postinst's expectation that parted will print out 'Disk geometry for /dev/discs/disc1/disc: 0kB - 147GB' instead of 'Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0kB - 147GB'. I say this because this call seems to expect the more verbose version:

dev=$(echo $size | sed -n "s|\([^:]*\)/disc:|\1|p")

Actual output:

~ # uname -a
