the only way i got linux installed is by booting with an partition-magic
disk and convert the extendet partition into a primary one and to shrink
the last partition. thismleads to a pretty stupid partition-order: hde1,
hde4 and then hde3. a manual debian installation worked with that, but
fai just tells me the following:
[...]
Calling task_partition
Partitioning local harddisks
FAI: setup harddisks V0.32fai
Probing disks: /dev/hde
Disks found: hde
parsing config file: /fai/disk_config/SMALL_IDE
NUMERATION ERROR in line 10, the number of the partition can not be preserved:
primary /mnt/win2 preserve4 ro
cp: cannot stat `/tmp/fai/disk_var.sh': No such file or directory
The problem lies in your partition ordering (i.e., hde1, hde4, hde3) - you
can't preserve the 4th partition, if there are only 3 ... (at least
linux-)fdisk should be able to fix the partition-order.
