Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
I'm trying to do manual partitioning using a daily livecd of intrepid from today. It fails with partman exited with status cod 141
I'm using a USB media to install, not a CDROM, this is a MSI Wind netbook. Syslog seems to indicate that partman doesn't detect sda3, even after adding the partitions sda1 (former /) and sda3 (former /home) manually to fstab and test-mounting them (without adding manually they won't show up), the installer just gets confused and shows an empty page of manual partitioning automatically. Unmounting them, but leaving in fstab again crashes partman. This is really irritating, I just cannot install intrepid, I need to wipe my / partition, but leave /home intact.

I also had this occur with the daily iso image build 20081015. Ubiquity debug log is attached. The disk is currently partitioned with the following layout (fdisk -l output):
Disk /dev/sda: 10.7 GB, 10737418240 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1305 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Partition table entries are not in disk order
(The goofiness of the layout is due to previous partman guided resizes.)
