I guess I was just lucky with the image I downloaded at the end of March. However, using the daily build of 31 May, I also ran into this partitioner bug, although I managed to work around it by loading the fdisk-udeb module and creating the partitions from the 2nd console with fdisk. It wasn't quite what I wanted, but I was able to continue with the installation. Two other issues: First, the internal IDE cd-rom drive in the ultra 5 (secondary master) was not detected from inside the installer, so I installed from an external scsi cd-rom. Second, to get silo to boot I had to change root= in silo.conf from /dev/sdb2 (I also have a scsi drive sda) to /dev/hda2 Given these issues, it might be easier to install lenny, then upgrade Xorg or whatever without using the squeeze installer, which was my second suggestion to philo.
