Package: debian-installer Version: 20090123 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Trying the rc2 of debian-installer showed a critical error. The system was not able to complete the installation. I did an installation via virtualbox an chose the default disksize suggested which is 8GB with dynamic growth Steps to reproduce: 1) choose graphical install 2) make default choises until partitioning 3) choose guided partitioning on LVM 4) choose to have a seperate home partition 5) choose ext3 for boot 6) choose XFS on both / and /home 7) the partitioner will choose 2.4GB for root and 5.3GB for home 8) continue installation and choose to have base system and desktop environment installed 9) all packages are downloaded and unpacking, installation and configuration starts 10) at some late point in the configuration process the install breaks claming to have found a disk problem 11) Installation is not possible and the only option is to reboot. Studying the result of a manual partitioning shows what went wrong: /dev/mapper/lenny-root 4,2G 3,1G 1,2G 72% / The size chosen by the guided partitioner for root is simply to small. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
