Bug Description
Binary package hint: partman-auto
I did the following using the feisty i386 d-i rc cd 20070415:
1. Install in the most normal way with erase whole disk.
2. Install again, in Dutch, selecting auto-resize
After I had finished the partition tables were set up in a way that made cfdisk complain. The machine has a single 80GB IDE disk.
I will attach a typescript showing the complaints from cfdisk and some warnings from fdisk.
To post a comment you must log in.
Partitions not being in disk order seems like an intrinsic property of resizing a big partition near the start and adding multiple partitions in the middle, unless you think it's a good idea to renumber existing partitions. I'm therefore not concerned about the fdisk error.
I'm not sure what the cfdisk error means. It doesn't obviously seem to be borne out by the output from the other tools.
