Booting with the linux26 kernel worked like a charm. Partitionning went a bit funny. The disk layout was : hda1 9.2 GB Windows XP >>> FREE SPACE 0.04 MB <<< hda2 10 GB / [that thing was generated by a previous Mandrake installation] It seems this layout managed to confuse partman; it wouldn't list the existing partitions (only the entire disk was available in the menu). After deleting hda2 using cfdisk on another terminal, everything worked fine.
