Hmm, I wonder. Before starting the installer, could you please try editing /lib/partman/commit.d/30parted, and putting 'update-dev' right after close_dialog? So the whole script should read:
#!/bin/sh
. /lib/partman/definitions.sh
disable_swap
for dev in $DEVICES/*; do
[ -d "$dev" ] || continue
cd $dev
open_dialog COMMIT
close_dialog
update-dev
done
I'd be interested to know if this helps; it seems like a good possibility, as the reason that mkfs.ext3 failed was that the device node /dev/sda1 didn't exist.
